"Surely the resurrection is the center of every Christian's faith; it is the greatest of all of the miracles performed by the Savior of the world," President Howard W. Hunter said during the April 1988 general conference. "Without it, we are indeed left hopeless. Let me borrow the words of Paul: `If there be no resurrection of the dead, . . . then is our preaching vain, . . . and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ. . . . If Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.' " (1 Cor. 15:13-15, 17.)
President Hunter further said: "It is the responsibility and joy of all men and women everywhere to `seek this Jesus of whom the prophets and apostles have [testified]' (Ether 12:41) and to have the spiritual witness of His divinity. It is the right and blessing of all who humbly seek, to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit, bearing witness of the Father and His resurrected Son."As one called and ordained to bear witness of the name of Jesus Christ to all the world, I testify . . . that He lives. He has a glorified, immortal body of flesh and bones. He is the Only Begotten Son of the Father in the flesh. He is the Savior, the Light and Life of the world. Following His crucifixion and death, He appeared as a resurrected being to Mary, to Peter, to Paul, and to many others. He showed himself to the Nephites. He has shown himself to Joseph Smith, the boy prophet, and to many others in our dispensation. This is His Church; He leads it today."
