Jesus riding a donkey into Jerusalem

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ gives us hope. It gave me hope on the summer day in 1969 when my mother died. I was sad because I was temporarily separated from her.

But I felt happy when the Holy Ghost told me that the Resurrection is real. I can picture what it will be like to see my mother and other loved ones again someday.

Jesus Christ was resurrected. Because of Him, all of Heavenly Father’s children born into the world will be resurrected in a body that will never die.
