Now more than ever, we need Jesus Christ. This Easter week, as we contemplate the tumultuous world in which we live, we need to reflect upon the Resurrection of Jesus Christ and the hope we can depend on because of His life and mission.  The Mormon Newsroom released this statement from the First Presidency.

"The First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints issued the following Easter message:


Jesus Christ is the Son of God, Jehovah of the Old Testament, and the Messiah of the New Testament. He died and was resurrected, and He lives in glory with our Eternal Father.

As a result of our Savior’s atoning sacrifice, death, and resurrection we become the beneficiaries of His mercy and grace. In a world of trouble and uncertainty, His peace can fill our hearts and ease our minds. Jesus is in very deed “the way, the truth, and the life” for God’s children everywhere (John 14:6).

At this Easter season we give our sure witness that Jesus is the Christ. Though He was crucified, He rose triumphant from the tomb to our everlasting blessing and benefit. He stands as our Advocate and Savior. He has done for all mankind that which no other could have done. God be thanked for the gift of His Beloved Son, our Savior, the Redeemer of the world, the Lamb without blemish who was offered as a sacrifice for all mankind.
