As we approach this Easter season, it is a priceless blessing to know that Jesus Christ lives, that He is the Redeemer and Savior of all mankind, and the Son of God. We declare to all that Jesus Christ is "the way, the truth, and the life."

The first Easter, the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, is the greatest and most significant miracle of all time.We testify that the resurrection was literal and real. He brought to every person who ever lives on this earth the privilege of once again having a body, of living again. Even though it has been nearly 2,000 years since the Savior lived on the earth, His teachings apply today. He gave us a practical guide for living in peace.

We urge all people to search the Savior's life for truths that will guide and give meaning to their lives. He died that we might live. We worship Him and invite all to do likewise.
