11/2/04
"Tomorrow is Easter! Christians everywhere will commemorate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Though the anniversary date may not be accurate, the Easter season should inspire us to study and reflect upon the infinite and eternal atonement of Christ-'the firstfruits of them that slept' (1 Cor. 15:20). The resurrection of Jesus from the tomb is the most glorious of all messages to mankind." - David B. Haight, "Our Lord and Savior," Ensign, May 1988, p. 22

"He was buried in a borrowed tomb and on the third day rose from the grave. He came forth triumphant, in a victory over death, the firstfruits of all that slept. With his resurrection came the promise to all men that life is everlasting, that even as in Adam all die, in Christ all are made alive. (See 1 Cor. 15:20-22.) Nothing in all of human history equals the wonder, the splendor, the magnitude, or the fruits of the matchless life of the Son of God, who died for each of us. He is our Savior. He is our Redeemer. As Isaiah foretold, 'His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.' (Isa. 9:6.)" - Gordon B. Hinckley, "The Cornerstones of Our Faith," Ensign, November 1984, p. 51-52

"'By man came death,' the scripture says, 'For as in Adam all die.' (1 Cor. 15:21-22.) Each of us is a partaker of the experience called death. None escapes. Were we to remain unrescued, lost would be paradise. Lost would be family. Lost would be friends. Realizing this truth, we begin to appreciate the supreme joy that accompanied the birth of the Savior of the world. How glorious the pronouncement of the angel: Behold a virgin 'shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.' (Matt. 1:21.)" - Thomas S. Monson, "Lost Battalions," Ensign, April 1987, p. 6

11/5/04
"I testify that Jesus is the Christ. The tomb was empty on that third day, and 'as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive' (1 Cor. 15:22). Thus with gratitude for the sealing power within the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, we can confidently say with the poet, 'I shall but love thee better after death' (Elizabeth Barrett Browning, 'How Do I Love Thee?')." - Joe J. Christensen, "Marriage and the Great Plan of Happiness," Ensign, May 1995, p.44

11/6/04
"The greatest events of history are those that affect the greatest number for the longest periods. By this standard, no event could be more important to individuals or nations than the resurrection of the Master. The eventual resurrection of every soul who has lived and died on earth is a scriptural certainty, and surely there is no event for which one should make more careful preparation. A glorious resurrection should be the goal of every man and woman, for it is a reality. Nothing is more absolutely universal than the resurrection. Every living being will be resurrected. 'As in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.' (1 Cor. 15:22.)" - Ezra Taft Benson, "Because I Live, Ye Shall Live Also," Ensign, April 1993, p. 4
