That first Easter sequence of atonement and resurrection constitutes the most consequential

moment, the most generous gift, the most excruciating pain, and the most majestic manifestation

of pure love ever to be demonstrated in the history of this world.

Elder Jeffrey, our Holland, said, Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, suffered, died,

and rose from death in order that he could, like lightning in the summer storm, grasp us

as we fall, hold us with his might, and through our obedience to his commandments, lift us

to eternal life.

We are Scott and Maureen Proctor of Meridian magazine, and we'd like to welcome you to

the Come Follow Me podcast, today being a special one as we go to those sacred moments

and Gethsemane when Jesus Christ wrought the mighty atonement for us all.

Elder Holland continues, we celebrate the gift of victory over every fall we have ever

experienced, every sorrow we have ever known, every discouragement we have ever had,

every fear we have ever faced, to say nothing of our resurrection from death and forgiveness

for our sins.

That victory is available to us because of events that transpired nearly two millennia

ago in Jerusalem.
