"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

"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

"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

We can replace the word cancer with any of the other physical,
mental, or emotional ailments we may face. Because of the
Resurrection, they have already been cured too. The miracle of
resurrection, the ultimate cure, is beyond the power of modern
medicine. But it is not beyond the power of God. We know it can
be done because the Savior is resurrected and will bring to pass
the Resurrection of each of us too. – Paul
V. Johnson, “And
There Shall Be No More Death,” Ensign (CR) May 2016
