Because of Jesus Christ
Excerpts
On this Easter Sunday, let us consider why focusing on Jesus Christ and the “infinite virtue of His great atoning sacrifice” is of greatest value and helps us no matter how many other concerns we must manage. His life, His mission, and the fruits of His Atonement bless us infinitely and daily.
Jesus lived and died to do His Father’s will. His infinite Atonement—the series of events He experienced from Gethsemane through His death on the cross and on to His glorious Resurrection—is central to Heavenly Father’s plan for our salvation. The plan depended on Jesus Christ; there was no alternative. …
Reflect on these reasons we celebrate Easter. First, Jesus Christ conquered death; He literally rose from the tomb. …
Second, Jesus Christ has both the power and the desire to save us from our sins. … The Redeemer suffered the punishment for everyone’s sins, transgressions, and mistakes. …
Third, Jesus Christ understands our challenges, having taken on not only our sins but also our griefs, sicknesses, and frailties. …
Focusing on the Savior, His infinite Atonement, and what He has done for us will bring joy and clarity into our lives, no matter how many other concerns we have. …
… Celebrate the joyous message of Easter every day by reflecting every day on the blessings you receive because of Him.
