Because of Him

#BecauseofHim death will not be the end for humanity, rather it will be an eternal beginning. 

The Easter season is a time to celebrate the Atonement of Jesus Christ. His Atonement commenced in the shadows of the olive trees of the Garden of Gethsamene. There He suffered both physical and spiritual pains beyond mortal comprehension. He was then lifted upon the cross and suffered death. This was not the end of His mission. Three days later Christ rose from the dead winning the victory over death. #BecauseofHim death will not be the end for humanity, rather it will be an eternal beginning.

My heart is full of joy and gratitude for the Atonement of the Son of God. The Spring season is such a beautiful time of year, and it has many references to the infinite gift of the Atonement. After the long, cold and very dark season of winter the Sun begins to shine more abundantly. Warmth is finally felt again. Flowers and trees blossom providing a newness of life. The air is refreshing and the entirety of the season brings hope, joy, and a fresh start. 

Because of the Savior and His Atonement, the light and hope of the gospel can warm our hearts with His endless love. We can have a fresh start being free from guilt, despair and sorrow. Everything and anything is possible through Jesus Christ. The Savior lives. And because He lives we shall all live again. This I know because of the Spirit which has testified of these eternal truths in my heart. May we always remember Him, because He will always remember us.
