I've had a lot of thoughts lately about our Savior, with it being Easter. Last week I had the opportunity to speak in church on how my testimony of Christ has blessed my life. Preparing for that was a huge time of introspection. Last night I attended the Easter pageant at the Mesa Temple grounds and was again reminded of how wonderful our Savior is.
Also, I watched this amazing video the other day. What has struck me lately is that He is real. He really did live on this earth. He really did! This is not fiction. It happened people!
He went about doing good, teaching and preaching on this earth. He served others. He loved others. He had such a special mission on this earth.
He went about performing miracles. He healed people.
He suffered so much. He was rejected. He was hurt. He was wrongly accused. He was ridiculed. He atoned for my sins and for yours.
He was hung on the cross at Calvary. And then He died.
But, He rose again. He was resurrected - reunited with his body.
Because of Him, I have hope. I have hope that I can be forgiven of my sins. I have hope that burdens I face may be made light. I have hope that one day I will be perfect. I can be forgiven of my sins. And one day I will have a perfect body.
I am so grateful for Him. I feel like I've come to know Him better the past few years as I've faced certain challenges and trials. As I've come to know Him better, my burdens have felt lighter.
I know He lives. He's real. He loves us. And I am so, so, grateful! I'm eternally indebted to Him!
Happy Easter!
