As a disciple of Jesus Christ, I bear witness of Him. He is my Lord and Savior. He has overcome sin and death. Through Him, each of us can do the same.
Feelings of gratitude for the Savior overwhelmed me today as we considered His sacrifice in two special locations. We visited the Garden Tomb—an ancient tomb comparable to the location where the body of Christ would have been laid following His crucifixion.
We also visited the area considered by some to be the Garden of Gethsemane. As we walked among centuries-old olive trees, we listened to scripture verses describing the Savior’s solemn sacrifice on our behalf in the garden and on the cross.
Jesus Christ’s agonizing experience in the Garden of Gethsemane and on the cross deserve our complete respect and total reverence. Similarly, the wonderful events that occurred on the third day following His crucifixion deserve to occupy a place of awe and eternal gratitude within our hearts and minds.
As a disciple of Christ, I am blessed to proclaim my testimony that He lives!
The words of the hymn “He Is Risen” come to mind:
He is risen! He is risen!
Tell it out with joyful voice.
He has burst his three days’ prison;
Let the whole wide earth rejoice.
Death is conquered; man is free.
Christ has won the victory.

Thoughtful analysis today from Sir Stephen Timms MP on Faith Groups in action during the Pandemic. Happy we were able to contribute. #FaithinPartnership
Sad to see what’s being done to bribe the voters. Biden's student loan forgiveness plan may win Democrats some votes, but it fuels inflation, foots taxpayers with other people’s financial obligations, is unfair to those who paid their own way & creates irresponsible expectations.
Why should you attend the Conferences?
Homira’s answer would be to grow your understanding of other cultures and contribute to peace-building by listening to survivors of religious persecution. Watch Homira’s Story #forb#peacebuilding#FaithAndFreedom https://t.co/foOTmPaXLV
Today, @statedept released the 2021 International Religious Freedom Report. Respect for religious freedom isn’t only one of our deepest held values and a universal human right—it’s also a vital foreign policy priority. We must do more to combat rising forms of hate.

Fasting is practiced by members of @Ch_JesusChrist and many others. This week, Muslims around the world begin fasting daily during their holy month of Ramadan. To our Muslim friends we say “Ramadan Mubarak!” May this month be filled with peace, joy, and holiness.
