As we repent, strive to remember and honor our covenants, and prepare throughout the week to participate in the ordinance of the sacrament, we can be blessed to always retain a remission of our sins through the redeeming and saving power of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The partaking of the bread and the water does not remit sins. It is the Lord Jesus Christ who forgives us of sin as we repent and come unto Him.
In times of peace or turmoil, there is always hope in Jesus Christ because of his greater love for all. As we approach Easter, hear a special message about God’s love and what it means for each of us from President Dallin H. Oaks (@OaksDallinH) and his counselors (@EyringHB and @ChristoffDTodd) in the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
As Mary Magdalene and her companions mournfully approached the Garden Tomb, two angels appeared to them and shared the clarion call of all Christianity:
"Why seek ye the living among the dead?"
"He is not here, but is risen" (Luke 24:5-6).
This Easter season we also joyfully testify of this same eternal truth—Jesus Christ is risen. He lives!
The Savior of the world was crucified and, on the third day, rose from the dead, "the firstfruits of them that slept" (1 Corinthians 15:20). His Resurrection allows all to be resurrected, and through His grace, we can find peace "which passeth all understanding" (Philippians 4:7) and "be perfected in him" (Moroni 10:32).
We invite each of you during this Easter season to "seek this Jesus of whom the prophets and apostles have written" (Ether 12:41). As you do so, we testify that your Easter celebrations can strengthen your own faith and testimony that "death is conquered; man is free. Christ has won the victory" ("He Is Risen!" Hymns, no. 199).

I have been blessed with exceptional women in my life, and I am eternally grateful for their influence on me. I feel a great responsibility to say thank you for who you are and what you do.
Joseph’s story from the Old Testament inspires us to trust Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ through life’s challenges.
Heavenly Father stands ready to help us. As we strive to be with Him, He will always be with us.
