Will you please remember what the Lord told Samuel?

“Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart” (1 Samuel 16:7).

As I mentioned during my general conference address Sunday morning, followers of Christ should follow Him by forgoing contention and by using the language and methods of peacemakers. In our families and other personal relationships, let us avoid what is harsh and hateful. Let us seek to be holy, like our Savior.

[Dallin H. Oaks @OaksDallinH]

The literal resurrection of Jesus is, of course, the subject of so many scriptures that it is settled doctrine for believers of the Bible and Book of Mormon. For us, the universal resurrection is equally certain.

I wonder if we fully appreciate the enormous significance of our belief in a literal, universal resurrection. The conviction that death is not the conclusion of our identity changes the whole perspective of our mortal life.

It affects how we look on the physical challenges of mortality. It gives us the strength and perspective to endure the mortal challenges faced by each of us and by those we love.

It signifies that mortal deficiencies are only temporary! It also gives us the courage to face our own death or that of loved ones—even deaths we might call premature.

Our belief in the resurrection also encourages us to fulfill our family responsibilities in mortality. It helps us live together in love in this life in anticipation of joyful reunions and associations in the next.

The road to redemption began with “hosanna.” As we remember the triumphal entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem, may our hearts welcome Him this Easter season.

"We moved to Newport Beach in 2011 when my husband, Nate, received a new job. We decided to rebuild our home and were living in a rental nearby. Just before Christmas, Nate was killed in a car accident caused by a drunk driver.

"Our children were 13, 16, 19, and 22. It was during COVID, and overnight, everything familiar disappeared. There were days when simply getting through felt like too much.

"Our congregation became our second family, and my children became my strength. We eventually finished rebuilding our home, and instead of feeling empty, it felt like a fresh start, a place to keep moving forward while still carrying him with us.

"What carried me was steady faith in Christ and His sacrifice for each of us. Easter has taken on a deeper meaning for me because of it. The Resurrection isn’t just something I believe in, it’s the hope I live by. Because of the Savior, I know this loss isn’t permanent. Love doesn’t end. Families don’t end.

"I miss Nate every day, but I don’t feel alone. I believe he continues to care for our children from the other side of the veil. Greater love, to me, is what Easter teaches, that love sacrifices, heals, and lasts beyond death. Because Christ lives, this separation is only for a moment, and one day, we will be made whole again." — Pamela #GreaterLove

[Patrick Kearon @PatrickKearon]

Our mortal life is but a moment in our existence, but that moment—sometimes very difficult—is of eternal importance.

Yes, our Heavenly Father wants us to learn and grow. And, yes, that growth at times entails disappointment and suffering. But He wants our lives to be beautiful and hopeful.

To that end, and to ease our journey back to Him, He has provided a Savior.

Through His love and atoning sacrifice, Jesus Christ has dealt with and healed everything we will encounter in life.

What a joy to repent and be forgiven through Christ's redeeming love!

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints spent $1.58 billion last year on humanitarian, food donations and other welfare and self-reliance operations, according to a report released today by the church.

That’s an increase of $130 million over what the church gave in 2024, or about 9%.
