Easter is not about the Easter bunny and little gifts that we can receive, it's about Jesus Christ and the most important gifts that he gave to us. Don't get me wrong we celebrate Easter with an Easter egg hunt and small gifts (Sean got a DVD of Bill Cosby's standup show & Zack got two rubber outdoor balls) but the focus of the week is on Jesus Christ.
During the week of Easter our family reads each night the last week of Christ's mortal ministry. We read from the four gospels of his teachings, passover, atonement in the Garden of Gethsemane, trial, crucifixion & rising again from the dead on Easter Sunday. Last night was D&C 138 which is the vision given to President Joseph F. Smith about the spirit world and teaching of the gospel to those after they have died. As we were reading I could not help but see what a merciful God we have. Even those who rejected the prophets have a second chance of coming unto him.
I am so very grateful for the opportunity that I have to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and to have apostles and prophets who guide us through these times. How grateful I am for a merciful God that gives us every opportunity to come unto him.
Happy Easter everyone and may we always remember the true meaning of the Easter. Remember that today He has risen and one day we can as well.
