Importance of Easter

Many times, we focus a lot on Christ's actions through Gethsemane and the Crucifixion.  It becomes the source of our lessons, and the quotes on our walls.  These things are so extremely important, but sometimes we forget that the Resurrection is also just as important.  In fact, without the resurrection, those other things would have been for naught.     Moroni 7:37-38 says,"And again my beloved brethren, I would speak unto you concerning hope.  How is it that ye can attain unto faith, save ye shall have hope?  And what is it that ye shall hope for?  Behold I say unto you that ye shall have hope through the atonement of Christ and the power of his resurrection, to be raised unto life eternal, and this because of your faith in him according to the promise."   Spring brings not just the brightness of new life in the trees and in cute baby animals, but it also brings the brightness of new hope.  But, how can we remember this big act all year long?  Just as there is symbolism to represent Christ's other actions, we can remember the Resurrection because the Sabbath Day is held on Sunday.  Earl C. Tingey emphasized this point as he said, "Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints recognize Sunday as the Sabbath in commemoration of the fact that Christ came forth from the grave on Sunday, and the Apostles commenced meeting thereafter on the first day of the week."  I am so grateful that every Sunday I can remember not only that Christ suffered and died for me, he also chose to LIVE AGAIN.
