It’s hard to imagine the anguish Jesus Christ’s followers must have felt on the day after His death. The night before, His body had been lovingly prepared and placed in a garden tomb.

After a series of one-sided trials, Jesus Christ was sentenced to death by crucifixion. Roman soldiers mocked and scourged Him and nailed Him to the cross.

They surrounded Jesus with love and praise shouting “Hosanna”—a phrase meaning “save us.” Many of Jesus’s followers expected Him to save them from Roman rule, but His goals were more eternal. Jesus came to […]

Nelson taught us that personal conflicts of the heart, home and life must end, during his Sunday morning remarks at April 2022 general conference. “My call today, dear brothers and sisters, is to end the conflicts that are raging in your heart, your home and your life,” he said.
