"And if Christ had not risen from the dead, or have broken the bands of death that the grave should have no victory, and that death should have no sting, there could have been no resurrection.
But there is a resurrection, therefore the grave hath no victory, and the sting of death is swallowed up in Christ.
He is the light and the life of the world; yea, a light that is endless, that can never be darkened; yea, and also a life which is endless, that there can be no more death."
Mosiah 16:7-9
Because of Christ, we will all live again after we die. This is the hope that we can cling to during times of trial and tragedy... that there is a life to come where we can be reunited with God and with those we love. Christ's triumph over fear and death was also a triumph of love, as he bowed to the Father's will, fulfilling his plan and making it possible for us all to live again, and even to overcome our own failures and flaws through the additional miracle of repentance.
Today, let's celebrate Christ's life and triumph as we strive to follow his example and follow God's will and not our own, for the betterment of all.
