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.

I marvel that he would descend from his throne divine.
To rescue a soul so rebellious and proud as mine,
That he should extend his great love unto such as I,
Sufficient to own, to redeem, and to justify.

Today marks the 30th anniversary of the introduction of “The Family: A Proclamation to the World.” This proclamation continues to teach us today that we are all members of a heavenly family that provides the model for our families on earth.
“The family proclamation teaches about family, marriage and gender and their part in the kingdom of our Father in Heaven. It states, ‘The family is central to the Creator’s plan for the eternal destiny of His children.’ This statement is the crux of the message of the Proclamation. . .”
"Each of us is a “son or daughter of heavenly parents” with earthly opportunities to help build the kingdom of God. He loves us. Every one of us—no exceptions. He knows us. He knows where we will thrive, what experiences in mortality will help us grow in spirituality, and in what circumstances we will bless the lives of others."

The Lord expects us to be peacemakers.
Difficult as it may seem to be, we have the responsibility to pray for those who may persecute us, as Jesus said in the Sermon on the Mount.
We need to learn to leave judgment to Him.
