“Jesus is the Christ. His atoning sacrifice is infinite in its reach and its impact. His Resurrection is glorious. I invite you to feel so during this Easter season."
-BYU President Shane Reese

“

This is Easter in Jesus Christ: He answers the longings of our heart and the questions of our souls. He wipes away our tears, except our tears of joy.

”

- Elder Gerrit W. Gong
April Conference, 2025

“

I stand here to witness that Jesus Christ gives light to those who sit in darkness. So, on those days when you feel that voice telling you to hide, that you should hide in a dark room all by yourself, I invite you to be brave and believe Christ! Walk over and turn on the Light—our Perfect Brightness of Hope.

”

—Sister Tamara W. Runia

“

We need to infuse the Light of Jesus Christ into every corner of our lives.

”

—Sister Amy A. Wright

“

Easter allows us to honor both the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ and the literal and joyous Resurrection of Him. Our hearts are heavy as we imagine the Savior’s suffering in the garden and upon Calvary, but our hearts rejoice as we envision the empty tomb and the heavenly decree 'He is risen!

”

-Elder Gary E. Stevenson

Celebrate Easter With Us

Easter is a season to rekindle hope, strengthen our faith, and rejoice in the miracle of new life. Jesus Christ's love for us was so profound that He endured suffering and death. But on the third day, He rose again. His Resurrection assures us that we, too, will live again. As we strive to feel His love more deeply this season, Easter Sunday will bring us a deeper sense of joy, gratitude, and peace, knowing that Jesus Christ is alive.

We invite you to visit The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints website to learn more about Jesus Christ’s greater love this Easter.

How the Savior Impacts Our Lives

  • Bryanna M.

    The Savior has given me hope when life feels heavy and the future seems uncertain. He has changed my heart so that I can look outward and have a greater capacity to feel His love and forgiveness. Jesus Christ has shown me that no matter what lies ahead, I will never be conquering it alone. He is ALWAYS there.

  • Ashton S.

    The Savior is my Master Healer. He has healed me in ways that I cannot explain. I know that the only way He was able to do this was because He descended below every trial which He knew that I would experience. I am continually reminded every day that I get to be changed and be healed from all that I have, am, and will ever experience. And I know that He will never leave me alone, regardless how much I struggle.

  • Claire M.

    As I’m getting ready to graduate, I’ve felt the stress and insecurities that come with new changes, job applications, and comparison with my classmates’ success. As I’ve turned to my Savior, I’ve felt joy in knowing my identity as a child of God is the greatest title I can hold. I know that through trusting the personal plan He has for each of us, we can feel His love and will always reach success.

  • Derek V.

    Jesus Christ's Atonement that he performed for me has given me the ability to be joyful in any circumstance. He stands as my mediator, and He makes every bad, good. I take comfort in the fact that all things will be made right, and all things will be for my benefit. I am forgiven, I am redeemed.
