Why do we celebrate?
As the beautiful Easter season approaches, we look forward to celebrate the incredible life of our Savior Jesus Christ and His triumph over sin and death. Through the atonement, our Savior obtained all power necessary to provide each of us with the opportunity for salvation. Each of us can testify of the truth of the reality of Our Lord’s life and resurrection and the hope and healing He brings. He pleads with us to come follow Him, walk in His ways, and to bless those around us.
The devotional will feature scriptures from the last week of Christ’s ministry, as well as from modern prophets and the Book of Mormon, and a variety of musical performances and reflections on Christ’s life, sacrifice, and resurrection. A youth choir composed of youth from local congregations will perform, in addition to small musical ensembles.

The Savior’s Last Week in Mortality
The events of the Savior’s life leading up to His Crucifixion and after His Resurrection can teach us a lot about His love for us.
I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.
