There is no other event in human history as significant as the atoning sacrifice of our divine Redeemer. None else compares with it. Without it life would be meaningless. It would be a dead-end journey.

With it we are assured of eternal life. Death is not the end, but rather a passing on to a more glorious existence. – Gordon B. Hinckley, “Let Virtue Garnish Thy Thoughts Unceasingly,” Ensign (CR) May 2007
