I love the the Easter Season: Easter eggs, Easter baskets, Easter hunts, bunnies, spring time, lilies, new dresses and Easter bonnets (well, bonnets for the little girls, not me personally!). But when all is said and done, Easter is truly an amazing miracle! The most miraculous miracle of them all! Christ's atonement and resurrection makes all the difference! Otherwise, Jesus would just be another great leader, like Buddha or Gandhi, etc.
I love a talk Elder Wirthlin gave back in 2006 on the resurrection called "Sunday Will Come." The quote below is from his comments.
"Each of us will have our own Fridays - those days when the universe itself seems shattered and the shard of our world lie littered about us in pieces. We all will experience those broken times when it seems we can never be put together again. We will all have our Fridays.
But I testify to you in the name of the One who conquered death - Sunday will come. In the darkness of our sorrow, Sunday will come.
No matter our desperation, no matter our grief, Sunday will come. In this life or the next, Sunday will come.
I testify to you that the Resurrection is not a fable. We have the personal testimonies of those who saw Him. Thousands in the Old and New Worlds witnessed the risen Savior. They felt the wounds in His hands, feet, and side. They shed tears of unrestrained joy as they embraced him.
After the Resurrection, the disciples became renewed. They traveled throughout the world proclaiming the glorious news of the gospel." -Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin
