Those glorious words, “He is risen,” have sparked religious ceremony, gratitude, faith in Jesus Christ and His promises for centuries. President Dallin H. Oaks has testified: “The resurrection is a pillar of our faith. It adds meaning to our doctrine, motivation to our behavior, and hope for our future.” – Ronald A. Rasband, “He Is Risen,” Liahona (CR) […]
We must encounter the empty tomb, experience the reality of what it means, and, in turn, share that witness with others. Even though centuries separate us from that holy day, we are among those who Jesus referred to when He said, “Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” – Dieter F. Uchtdorf, […]
The possibility that a mortal who has died will be brought forth and live again in a resurrected body has awakened hope and stirred controversy through much of recorded history. Relying on clear scriptural teachings, Latter-day Saints join in affirming that Christ has “broken the bands of death” (Mosiah 16:7) and that “death is swallowed up in […]
During this mortal life, each of us will face our own dark days, times when things are not going as hoped.

Jesus Christ stands at the very heart of God’s plan of salvation and exaltation. Every promise of redemption, every hope of resurrection, and every assurance of eternal life flows through Him. Without Jesus Christ, there is no salvation, no victory over sin and death, and no path back to our Heavenly Father. He is the […]
I wonder if we fully appreciate the enormous significance of this belief in a literal, universal resurrection. The conviction that death is not the conclusion of our identity changes the whole perspective of our mortal life. It affects how we look on the physical challenges of mortality. It gives us the strength and perspective to […]
Jesus Christ is more than a mortal first laid in a manger, more than a friend, teacher, rabbi, minister, or prophet. He is the Only Begotten Son of the Father. And by divine design, His Resurrection by His own godly power reunited His body and His spirit. What a majestic and monumental event in Father in Heaven’s […]
Because of what happened on that Sunday morning, we can speak of Jesus Christ in the present tense. He lives! Today. At this moment. – Dieter F. Uchtdorf, “Encounter at the Empty Tomb,” Liahona (CR) May 2026
