Because of the Atonement

On Easter Sunday we celebrate the most long-awaited and glorious event in the history of the world.  It is the day that changed everything.  On that day, my life changed.  Your life changed. The destiny of all God’s children changed.  On that blessed day, the Savior of mankind, who had taken upon Himself the chains of sin and death that held us captive, burst those chains and set us free.  Because of the sacrifice of our beloved Redeemer, death has no sting, the grave has no victory, Satan has no lasting power, and we are “begotten … again unto a lively hope by the resurrection‍ of Jesus Christ.”

The Savior’s Atonement cannot become commonplace in our teaching, in our conversation, or in our hearts. It is sacred and holy, for it was through this “great and last sacrifice” that Jesus the Christ brought “salvation to all those who shall believe on his name.
