Easter, a Sacred Time of Year

Easter--Is is not about eggs and bunnies and Easter baskets. Those are fun and nice and come from pagan rituals. It is about the atonement. It is about our Savior, Jesus Christ's and Heavenly Father's love for us. Easter is a very important time of our year when we remind ourselves of His mortal ministry and that we really cannot comprehend that sacred something he did for us. He suffered for our sins in Gethsemane. He suffered and died on the cross and was resurrected and brought us the resurrection. He has taken away the sting of death and the victory of the grave. After we leave this life, we can then be resurrected and live again with Him.

This life is a time for us to prepare to meet God and to perform our labors and serve Him. We will never be perfect (complete) in this life. When we leave this life it won't matter how close to perfection we are. What will matter is which direction we are headed. As an apostle of the Lord once said, it just doesn't matter how far up the "ladder" we are, so long as we are headed up and not down or some other way. We will be saved in the celestial kingdom of God so long as we are going in the correct direction.

I am so thankful for my Savior, Jesus Christ, and his love and sacrifice for us!! I have made sacred covenants to live as He would have me live. May I so do!!

Of the truth of these things I testify in His name, even Jesus Christ. Amen.
