Becoming One in Christ
Jesus Christ love and cares for each of us. Elder D. Todd Christofferson, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles shares his testimony of Jesus Christ's sacrifice and how that sacrifice yokes us with Him.
The evening before the trials and crucifixion that awaited Him, Jesus joined in a Passover meal with His Apostles. At the end of this Last Supper, in a sacred Intercessory Prayer, Jesus petitioned His Father in these words: “Holy Father, keep through thine own name [mine Apostles] whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; that they also may be one in us.” In our extremely contentious world, how can unity be achieved, Paul gives us the key: “For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.” We are too diverse and at times too discordant to be able to come together as one on any other basis or under any other name. Only in Jesus Christ can we truly become one. Becoming one in Christ happens one by one If individually we each “put on Christ,” then together we can hope to become one, as Paul said, “the body of Christ.” Unity does not require sameness, but it does require harmony. We can have our hearts knit together in love, be one in faith and doctrine, and still cheer for different teams, disagree on various political issues, but we can never disagree or contend with anger or contempt for one another. I say again that it is only in and through our individual loyalty to and love of Jesus Christ that we can hope to be one—one within, one at home, one in the Church, eventually one in Zion, and above all, one with the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost.
I return to the events of Holy Week and the ultimate triumph of our Redeemer. The Resurrection of Jesus Christ bears witness of His divinity and that He has overcome all things. His Resurrection bears witness that, bound to Him by covenant, we too may overcome all things and become one. #BecauseofHim

Filling Our Minds with the Power of Jesus Christ
My prayer at this Easter season is that we will more consciously shape, strengthen, and secure this preeminent thought of Jesus Christ in the chambers of our soul, allowing it to eagerly flow into our mind, guide us in what we think and do, and continually bring the sweet joy of the Savior’s love.
Filling our mind with the power of Jesus Christ does not mean that He is the only thought we have. But it does mean that all our thoughts are circumscribed in His love, His life and teachings, and His atoning sacrifice and glorious Resurrection.
Jesus is never in a forgotten corner, because our thoughts of Him are always present and “all that is in [us adores] him!”We pray and rehearse in our mind experiences that have brought us closer to Him.
We welcome into our mind divine images, holy scriptures, and inspired hymns to gently cushion the countless daily thoughts rushing through our busy lives. Our love for Him does not shield us from the sadness and sorrow in this mortal life, but it allows us to walk through the challenges with a strength far beyond our own.
In this Easter season, I witness the complete and absolute truth of the Savior’s incomparable atoning sacrifice and of His glorious Resurrection. As your mind remains firmly and forever upon the thought of Jesus Christ, and as you continue to focus your life more fully on the Savior, I promise you that you will feel His hope, His peace, and His love. #BecauseOfHim

The Significance of Palm Sunday
The Significance of Palm Sunday marked the beginning of the most important event on Earth. Elder Ronald A. Rasband, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles shares his testimony of Jesus Christ's final week of His mortal ministry.
Nearly 2,000 years ago, Palm Sunday marked the beginning of the last week of the mortal ministry of Jesus Christ. It was the most important week in human history. What began with the heralding of Jesus as the promised Messiah in His triumphant entry into Jerusalem closed with His Crucifixion and Resurrection. By divine design, His atoning sacrifice concluded His mortal ministry, making it possible for us to live with our Heavenly Father for eternity. Scriptures tell us that the week began with throngs standing at the gates of the city to see “Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.” They “took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried: Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.” Though we do not stand at the gates of Jerusalem today with palms in our hands, the time will come when, as prophesied in Revelation, “a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, [will stand] before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands.” I leave with you my blessing as an Apostle of Jesus Christ that you will diligently strive to live righteously and be among those who, with palms in their hands, will herald the Son of God, the great Redeemer of us all. #BecauseofHim

A Powerful Testimony of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ
A Powerful Testimony of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ live in the New Testament, the Book of Mormon, another testament of Jesus Christ, shares the greatest Easter story ever told. Let it not be the greatest Easter story never told. Elder Gary E. Stevenson, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles shares his testimony and "invites us to look at the Book of Mormon in a new light and consider the profound witness of the reality of the risen Christ as well as the richness and depth of the doctrine of Christ."
We are deeply grateful for New Testament scripture that preserves the story of Easter and the Savior’s Easter ministry in Judea and Galilee. In addition to the important verses about Easter in the New Testament, we as Latter-day Saints are endowed with a most remarkable Easter gift! A gift of unique witness, another testament of the Easter miracle that contains perhaps the most magnificent Easter scriptures in all of Christianity. I am referring of course to the Book of Mormon and, more specifically, to the account of Jesus Christ appearing to inhabitants in the New World in His resurrected glory. In reality, the Book of Mormon shares the greatest Easter story ever told. Let it not be the greatest Easter story never told. I have observed that when President Russell M. Nelson gives a gift of the Book of Mormon to someone not of our faith, including world leaders, he often turns to 3 Nephi and reads about the appearance of the resurrected Christ to the Nephites. The Book of Mormon is another witness of Jesus Christ because throughout its sacred pages, one prophet after another testifies not only that Christ would come but that He did come. I invite you to look at the Book of Mormon in a new light and consider the profound witness it bears of the reality of the risen Christ as well as the richness and depth of the doctrine of Christ. His visit as a resurrected Savior, introduced by God the Father, is a most glorious and triumphant Easter message. It will help our family members gain a personal testimony of Jesus Christ as our Savior and Redeemer, who broke the bands of death. I close with my testimony of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon and of Jesus Christ as the Son of the living God. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen. #BecauseOfHim

Jesus Christ Has Overcome Unfairness for Us All
Jesus Christ has overcome unfairness for us all. Elder Dale G. Renlund, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles shares his testimony of Jesus Christ and how His Atonement "absorbed" unfairness for all.
Some unfairness cannot be explained. Unfairness comes from living with bodies that are imperfect, injured, or diseased. Some people are born in affluence; others are not. Some have loving parents; others do not. Some live many years; others, few. My heart aches for those who face such unfairness, but I declare with all my aching heart that Jesus Christ both understands unfairness and has the power to provide a remedy. Nothing compares to the unfairness He endured. It was not fair that He experienced all the pains and afflictions of mankind. It was not fair that He suffered for my sins and mistakes and for yours. But He chose to do so because of His love for us and for Heavenly Father. He understands perfectly what we are experiencing. Because Jesus Christ endured the infinite atoning sacrifice, He empathizes perfectly with us. He is always aware of us and our circumstances. In the eternities, Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ will resolve all unfairness. In unfair situations, one of our tasks is to trust that “all that is unfair about life can be made right through the Atonement of Jesus Christ.” Jesus Christ overcame the world and “absorbed” all unfairness. Because of Him, we can have peace in this world and be of good cheer. If we let Him, Jesus Christ will consecrate the unfairness for our gain. He will not just console us and restore what was lost; He will use the unfairness for our benefit. I testify that the Savior lives. He understands unfairness. The marks in the palms of His hands continually remind Him of you and your circumstances. He ministers to you in all your distress. For those who come unto Him, joy and gladness will replace grief and sorrow. All unfairness will be consecrated for your gain. All unfairness will be consecrated for your gain. I so testify in the name of Jesus Christ, amen. #BecauseofHim

Jesus Christ Brings Hope and Healing for Us
Jesus Christ brings hope and healing to each of us. Elder Gerrit W. Gong, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, shares his testimony of Jesus Christ and the hope and healing He brings to each of us.
We celebrate the living Jesus Christ at this season of continuing Restoration and Easter, not just for some, but for all. He came and comes to heal the brokenhearted, deliver the captives, recover sight to the blind, and set at liberty those who are bruised. That’s each of us. His redeeming promises apply, no matter our past, our present, or concerns for our future. A second promise of Easter and our Lord’s Atonement is that, spiritually, “all things shall be restored to their proper order.” Because “God himself atoneth for the sins of the world,” the Lord’s Atonement can make whole not only what was but also what can be. Because He knows our pains, afflictions, sicknesses, our “temptations of every kind,” He can, with mercy, succor us according to our infirmities. Because God is “a perfect, just God, and a merciful God also,” the plan of mercy can “appease the demands of justice.” We repent and do all we can. He encircles us eternally “in the arms of his love.” But only the living Jesus Christ in His perfect resurrected form still bears the marks of crucifixion in His hands, feet, and side. Only He can say, “I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands.” Only He can say: “I am he who was lifted up. I am Jesus that was crucified. I am the Son of God.” #BecauseOfHim

Jesus Christ's Charitable Sacrifice
Jesus Christ divine compassion for each of us is a testament of his love and charity for us. Elder Ulisses Soares, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles shares his testimony of Jesus Christ and His Divine Compassion for each of us.
Jesus triumphantly entered the Holy City riding upon a donkey, surrounded by a multitude of jubilant disciples who spread out their garments, palm leaves, and other foliage along the path where Jesus passed. They praised God, saying with a loud voice, “Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord. As His followers, we are His peculiar people, called to proclaim His virtues, promoters of the peace so generously offered through Him and His atoning sacrifice. As disciples of the Prince of Peace, we have been instructed to live with “hearts knit together in unity and in love, one towards another. The scriptures define this kind of love as charity. Think for a moment about what Jesus must have felt as He humbly washed His disciples’ feet, knowing that one of them would betray Him that very night. Or when Jesus, hours later, mercifully healed the ear of one of the men who had accompanied Judas, His betrayer, to arrest Him. Or even when the Savior, standing in front of Pilate, was unfairly accused by the chief priests and elders. Through these three tragic incidents, the Savior, despite being burdened with excessive sadness and stress, taught us by His example that “charity suffereth long, and is kind. One of the most evident signs that we are drawing closer to the Savior and becoming more like Him is the loving, patient, and kind way with which we treat our fellow beings, whatever the circumstances. May we today, spread out our robes of love and palm leaves of charity, walking in the footsteps of the Prince of Peace as we prepare to celebrate the miracle of the empty tomb. #BecauseOfHim

Jesus Christ | The Ultimate Healer and Restorer of Life
Jesus Christ is the ultimate healer and restorer of life. Elder Patrick Kearon, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles shares his testimony of Jesus Christ and His healing power.
Though it may seem impossible, feel impossible, healing can come through the miracle of the redemptive might of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, who is risen “with healing in his wings.” In Gethsemane and on Calvary, Jesus “took upon Himself … all of the anguish and suffering ever experienced by you and me,” and He has overcome it all! With arms outstretched, the Savior offers the gift of healing to you. With courage, patience, and faithful focus on Him, before too long you can come to fully accept this gift. You can let go of your pain and leave it at His feet. You can heal, and you can trust that with the power and grace of Jesus Christ, you will overcome and conquer. Jesus specializes in the seemingly impossible. He came here to make the impossible possible, the irredeemable redeemable, to heal the unhealable, to right the unrightable, to promise the unpromisable. “For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.” #BecauseofHim

Why the Church sees the Kirtland Temple as ‘A Sacred Stewardship’
Following the Church’s recent acquisition of the Kirtland Temple, Elder Kyle S. McKay, the Church historian and recorder and a General Authority Seventy, and Matt Grow, managing director of the Church History Department, sat down for an exclusive interview with the Church News to discuss the significance of the temple and other artifacts The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will now care for in Kirtland, Ohio and Nauvoo, Illinois.
In this video, titled “A Sacred Stewardship,” Grow expresses gratitude to Community of Christ for the efforts made to preserve the temple and other properties around it. He also compares the Kirtland Temple to the Sacred Grove in Palmyra, New York because of the heavenly visitations that happened in both locations.

Alma Baptizes Many People | Book of Mormon Stories for Kids (8) | Mosiah 16–18
Abinadi was a prophet. He taught people to believe in Jesus and to stop doing bad things. A wicked king named Noah was angry with Abinadi. Noah didn’t want to repent.
A man named Alma believed Abinadi. He ran away and hid from the angry king. He felt sorry for doing wrong things, and he repented, just like Abinadi had taught.
Many people came to hear Alma teach about Jesus Christ. Alma taught that if they repented and followed Jesus, they could be baptized.
The people clapped with joy. They promised to comfort others. They promised to love God and tell other people about Him. They were ready to be baptized.
One by one, Alma baptized the people. They were very happy to be part of Jesus’s Church.
Read about this story in Mosiah 16-18.

What Is the Godhead? | The Truth About The Trinity
Do Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Believe in the Trinity? Like many Christians, we believe in God the Father, His Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. However, we don’t believe in the traditional concept of the Trinity. We believe that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost are three separate beings who are one in purpose.
Three distinct beings
The Church’s first Article of Faith states, “We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.” We believe They are three distinct personages, not one singular being. We call Them the Godhead.
This belief is informed by the Bible. The account of Jesus’s baptism in the New Testament is one great example of the Godhead acting together to accomplish the will of Heavenly Father. Matthew 3:16–17 reads:
“And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
At that moment, all three members of the Godhead were present: Jesus, who was being baptized; Heavenly Father, whose voice was heard from heaven; and the Spirit of God, as indicated by the sign of the dove.
Each member of the Godhead has a specific role, united in the purpose of bringing all of God’s children back to His presence.
Unique roles
God
God is our loving Heavenly Father. He is the father of our spirits. We communicate with Him through prayer, as Jesus Christ Himself did. Heavenly Father always listens to our prayers. He authored the plan of salvation, a plan to help all of His children return to live with Him. As Latter-day Saints, we love and worship Him.
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is Heavenly Father’s Son. He is our Savior and Redeemer. He was God’s Only Begotten Son, born of Mary. He lived on earth and taught his Father’s gospel. He was rejected by the world and crucified on the cross. Because of His perfect, sinless life and ultimate sacrifice, we all have the hope of returning to live with Him and our Heavenly Father again. John 3:16 reads, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
The Holy Ghost
The Holy Ghost is the messenger and revealer of the Father and the Son. A personage of spirit, He helps us learn and recognize the truth of all things, including the gospel. It is through the Holy Ghost that God and Jesus Christ communicate their love, comfort, and peace to us.
One purpose
Though the Godhead is made up of three distinct divine beings with certain different roles and characteristics, They are perfectly united in purpose. They work in harmony to help us come to know God, live righteously, be forgiven, and ultimately return to live with Them again. Together, They work “to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man” (Moses 1:39).

Love To Gather
A worldwide Relief Society devotional will be held Sunday, March 17, 2024, to commemorate the purpose and founding of the Relief Society, which took place March 17, 1842.
“We're so excited by this opportunity and we're thrilled that President [Russell M.] Nelson would give a message directly to the sisters,” said President Camille N. Johnson, Relief Society general president.
This Church News video, titled “Love to Gather,” features President Johnson and her counselors in the Relief Society general presidency, Sister J. Anette Dennis and Sister Kristin M. Yee. The women share their excitement for the Relief Society devotional, which will be followed by testimony meetings held in local units across the globe.

Alma Believed Abinadi | Book of Mormon Stories for Kids (7) | Mosiah 11–17
In the Book of Mormon, we learn about a prophet named Abinadi. God sent him to teach the wicked people of King Noah.
Abinadi told the king and his followers to repent and keep God’s commandments. They didn’t listen. They were angry with the prophet! They didn’t want to change.
But one person believed the prophet. His name was Alma. He decided to repent and leave the wicked king.
Alma wrote down what Abinadi had taught. He started teaching other people about the gospel.
Read about this story in Mosiah 11–17.
