He Is Risen

I was looking forward to reading President Monson's conference talk, eager to remember what council he has given us. This talk doesn't contain council, just a message of hope. These are my favorite excerpts:


"[He] went about doing good." Acts 10:38. This has been one of my favorite verses for a while.


"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you." John 14:27. Jesus Christ, our Savior truely makes everything okay. There is no wound nor worry He cannot heal, no wrong He cannot make right.


I believe the testimony of one who, in this dispensation, spoke with the Father and the Son in a grove now called sacred and who gave his life, sealing that testimony with his blood. Declared he:
“And now, after the many testimonies which have been given of him, this is the testimony, last of all, which we give of him: That he lives! “For we saw him, even on the right hand of God; and we heard the voice bearing record that he is the Only Begotten of the Father.”D&C 76: 22-23



From Revelation chapter 21, verse 4: ‘And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.’ ”


I am suprememly grateful for my Savior. He helps me be more than I can be on my own, strengthens me in my trials, and because of Him I have hope of a glorious resurrection.
