Easter is always an uplifting, spiritual and reverent day. Thoughts of the sacrifice made by our Savior fill my mind and touch my heart most every day, but especially on this, the day of celebration and remembrance.
I feel most blessed today to have been able to begin my Easter Sunday with the children of the primary. Nowhere else can one feel the spirit with such purity. As Sister Ditton and Sister Mills led singing time and Sister Johnson did Sharing time, the children periodically volunteered bits of knowledge: 'Jesus taught the apostles to Love One Another during their last dinner together', 'Jesus was on the cross for 9 hours', and my personal favorite, Landon's analysis of the peoples' choice to free Barabus instead of Jesus. Each child listened intently to the teachings of these amazing women.
I want to add my testimony to theirs. I, too, know that Jesus suffered and died for each of us. I know that it was his choice to take upon himself the sins of the world, and I know that he loves each of those primary children more than could ever be put into words. I also know one other thing...that He lives. Because of this we will also be resurrected, and for that I am eternally grateful. I bear this testimony in His name, even Jesus Christ, Amen.
