Christ the Lord Is Risen Today.

I know that my Redeemer lives. I know that He was born as a baby, He did live, that He died, and that He lives again. There is no doubt in my mind that He was born to a mortal mother, lived a mortal life with normal experiences.  He also witnessed and made possible many very miraculous experiences...some of which caused others to doubt His divinity, persecute Him, and ultimately they ended His mortal life. But I also know that before our Heavenly Father allowed men to end His life, Christ knelt down and suffered indescribable pain in a Garden, by Himself, so that He could know and understand each of us individually.  Then, after all of that agony He allowed men to take Him, hang Him on a cross, and He chose to give up His mortal life so that 3 days later He could complete the atonement by rising from the grave to live again.  He does live again.  Because of that experience my life will never be the same.  None of our lives will be the same again.  #BecauseOfHim - Trending hashtag around the world because we will never be the same again all thanks to our Savior.  "He lives, my kind, wise, Heavenly friend...all glory to His name...oh sweet, the joy this sentence gives: I know that MY Redeemer lives."  He is truly my Redeemer and He can be yours too if you will but come unto Him and let Him carry your burdens.  I am so grateful for Easter and for the annual reminder of these truths.  It is about His life, not just His death.  So in the spirit of Easter I invite all to Come Unto Christ.  There is no better way and no truer love.  Happy Easter.
