This week in my personal scripture study, I was contemplating the life and resurrection of Jesus Christ when I remembered a scripture from Abinidi's sermon. He stated:
"And if Christ had not come into the world (speaking of things to come as though they had already come) there could have been no redemption. And if Christ had not risen from the dead or have broken the bands of death, that the grave should have no victory, and that death shall have no sting, there could have been no resurrection."
"But there is a resurrection, therefore the grave hath no victory, and the sting of death is swallowed up in Christ. He is the light and the life of the world; yea, a light that is endless, and shall never be darkened, and also a life that is endless, that there can be no more death." (Mosiah 16:6-9).
I love this scripture and the power it brings. Because of Christ's Atonement, I know that I can be reunited with the ones I love and live with them again after I die. Because of what He did for me, there is hope for a better future, and I can rise up and become better. If we turn to Christ, there is no loss; no struggle; no suffering that we have to endure that will not be made up.
I invite you to ponder Christ's sacrifice and triumph not only this Easter but throughout the week. Remember when you are going through your difficult trials that as difficult as they seem right now; as painful or strenuous or hopeless as they may seem, if we turn to Christ, everything will work out for our good, and no loss can be permanent.
