The Miracle of Easter

 

 

I liked Easter as a child. We were given baskets of goodies and had our egg hunts

Now as an adult, the significance of this glorious day is beautiful and meaningful.

Baskets and Egg hunts

I liked Easter as a child. We were given baskets of goodies and had our egg hunts as kids but for too long, the meaning of Easter was lost on us. Now as an adult, the significance of this glorious day is beautiful and meaningful.

An empty tomb might not mean much to anyone else, but in context, it means everything to us as Latter-day Saints. The promises associated with this event are grand, glorious and eternal. Without the Savior’s atoning sacrifice and His power over “death, hell, and the devil” (2 Nephi 9:26), we would be endlessly lost, subject to the devil and rewarded with misery for the rest of eternity. But thankfully, there is hope for us!

 

Great Event

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland spoke beautifully about this great event. He said, “Beginning in the spiritual anguish of the Garden of Gethsemane, moving to the Crucifixion on a cross at Calvary, and concluding on a beautiful Sunday morning inside a donated tomb, a sinless, pure, and holy man, the very Son of God Himself, did what no other deceased person had ever done nor ever could do. Under His own power, He rose from death, never to have His body separated from His spirit again. Of His own volition, He shed the burial linen with which He had been bound, carefully putting the burial napkin that had been placed over His face “in a place by itself,” the scripture says.

“That first Easter sequence of Atonement and Resurrection constitutes the most consequential moment, the most generous gift, the most excruciating pain, and the most majestic manifestation of pure love ever to be demonstrated in the history of this world. Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, suffered, died, and rose from death in order that He could, like lightning in a summer storm, grasp us as we fall, hold us with His might, and through our obedience to His commandments, lift us to eternal life.” 1

I find it easy to have faith in and believe that Jesus Christ indeed accomplished what the scriptures say that He did. I believe that He was the master over sin and death and that at no other time in the history of the world, our loving Savior and elder brother, rose from the dead by his own power. Is it any wonder that so many refused to believe in something that had previously been impossible?

Faithful Mary

As I think about faithful Mary who sought her Lord’s body and found nothing, I can imagine the added strain on top of her already existent heartbreak. How must her heart have soared when she realized that she was not speaking with the gardener but the resurrected Lord Himself!

One day, each of us will stand before Him and learn and know for ourselves, that his hands and wrists were pierced for us. That his side and feet were injured for us and that his magnificent blood was spilled for us. I cannot see myself standing for very long.

Elder Holland included, “So today we celebrate the gift of victory over every fall we have ever experienced, every sorrow we have ever known, every discouragement we have ever had, every fear we have ever faced—to say nothing of our resurrection from death and forgiveness for our sins. That victory is available to us because of events that transpired on a weekend precisely like this nearly two millennia ago in Jerusalem.” 1

May we remember this, the greatest of all gifts and the greatest miracle we have ever known, as we celebrate Easter this year.

  • Hello, I am Aaron Salva from Stockholm, Sweden. I want to share my experience with internet scammers. I lost about Euro 155,400.00 to a fake crypto investment scam. They posed as an investment company that could deliver a certain percentage in returns if you deposit your Bitcoin with them. At first, it seemed real, it worked twice. I didn’t realize they set up a bot (robot) that will completely shut down your account after you have decided to invest a higher amount. So I couldn’t access my crypto account anymore. I contacted customer service and they told me about an unending website upgrade. To cut the long story short, it was a scam and I was able to do research and saw a comment about a similar experience with a bitcoin scam, and how WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY help a victim recover back her stolen crypto within 72 hours, I decided to contact them because I was desperately in need of help to get back my life savings. They asked me some questions regarding the investment, I told them and they asked for my bitcoin wallet address, which I provided for them. To my greatest surprise, they helped me recover my invested crypto back. have you been scammed of your Crypto or Bitcoin? Do you need a reliable hacker to help you with anything related to hacking?

  • The team finally gave me the news I had been expecting for after three restless nights of concern and anxiety. As soon as I received the email, I checked my wallet balance and saw that $619,212 USDT was there. That day was the most alive I’ve ever felt, as if WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY had given me a second lifeline. When I reflect on everything, I see that if I had followed my instincts, I could have avoided all of this. I wish I had heeded the advice to trust my instincts. I became interested in this binary options strategy last year since it offered low risk and consistent yet steady earnings. Something didn’t feel quite right; It felt a little strange, and I secretly questioned the opportunity, but since I mentioned “opportunity,” I chose to give it a try in the hopes that I would be persuaded. At the time, I had just received a small inheritance, which I felt should be put to good use. We began very modestly, which convinced me. Despite the modest profits, the business was stable as promised. I increased my investment to boost my returns because I thought I was in good hands. Everything changed when I decided it was time to withdraw money I had saved for a dream project because my balance had climbed dramatically four and a half months later. To my biggest surprise, it turned into one excuse after another, and when they had me paying endless fees at the withdrawal stage, I finally understood it was all a well-planned fraud. However, the harm was already done; I had fallen victim to an online fraud, and there didn’t seem to be much I could do about it. I felt powerless until a very close friend recommended that I seek assistance from WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY. I am grateful to him for this recommendation, as it was the catalyst for everything to happen. I also want to express my sincere gratitude to the team; you guys are really appreciated. Don’t give up on getting justice if you’re in that dark place; Contact information is provided at wizardjamesrecovery@usa.com.

  • There are legitimate and honest recovery agents out there who are of high quality. I regret that no one else experienced the Bitcoin investment swindle like I did. Being broken is not a sign of weakness, therefore what matters is the oddity within you. I lost everything I owned in five days as a result of falling for a Bitcoin scam. I was tricked by someone posing as a Bitcoin investor and trader, and after I had deposited nearly a million dollars into this fraudulent exchange, I was unable to withdraw my money, and all of my correspondence with this alleged trader was compromised. Before a friend of mine recommended WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY COMPANY, a recovery agency that assisted me in getting back all of my stolen money, I thought I was going to die. They retrieved everything in less than 72 hours, which made me believe it was impossible. The speed and simplicity of the process amazed me, and I can personally vouch for the fact that WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY COMPANY is a group of tenacious, dependable, and trustworthy bitcoin and data recovery professionals. If you have any reason to contact them, you can use this information: (Wizardjamesrecovery@usa.com); WhatsApp: (+447418367204) They truly know their subject and are very helpful! Never be afraid to ask for assistance.

  • The Wizard James genuinely saved my bacon by helping me retrieve my $237,000 from an online scammer who directed me to Publicip Vip, a cryptocurrency trading platform. The man had given me coaching over Telegram, walking me through the process of creating an account and transferring funds. Within six months, I transferred $237,000 in total to this website with the hopes of making a sizable profit. Even though I complied with all of their requests, I was regrettably unable to withdraw any money.  A wonderful internet review led me to Wizard James Recovery, and I chose to collaborate with them. Since everything was resolved and my money was returned in less than seven days, I must say that I am really fortunate. They can be reached by email at wizardjamesrecovery@usa.com.
