For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;Which sometime were disobedient, . . . (1 Pet. 3:18-20.)
"Since the day of resurrection when Jesus became the `firstfruits of them that slept' (1 Cor. 15:20), there have been those who disbelieve and scoff," said President Ezra Taft Benson in Come Unto Christ.
"They maintain there is no life beyond mortal existence. Some have even written books that contain their fanciful heresies to suggest how Jesus' disciples perpetrated the hoax of His resurrection. I give you my testimony: The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the greatest historical event in the world to date. He lives! He lives with a resurrected body. There is no truth or fact of which I am more assured than the truth of the literal resurrection of our Lord."
Further, President Benson noted: "There has been considerable publicity and media coverage recently on the reporting of experiences that seemingly verify that `life after life' is a reality. The ancient prophet's question asked centuries ago has been revived: `If a man die, shall he live again?' (Job 14:14.) In other words, what happens to a person once he dies? A definite answer to that question is provided by the Savior's ministry in the spirit world following His crucifixion, death, and burial." (See D&C 138.)
