At this sacred Easter season we solemnly testify that Jesus Christ was appointed and foreordained to be our Redeemer before the world was formed. With His divine sonship, His exemplary life, His suffering in the Garden of Gethsemane and on the cross of Calvary, and subsequent Resurrection from the grave, He became the author of salvation for all mankind.
As stated by the Apostle Paul, "If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept" (1 Corinthians 15:19-20).
May our hearts be filled with peace and joy at this season of hope and renewal as we contemplate the wondrous blessings available to us through the Savior's Atonement.
Sincerely,
The First Presidency
