Easter ---the Consummate Act of Healing.


I have been thinking about Easter today (for obvious reasons) -today is palm Sunday and it is the Easter season. I love how Elder Nelson refers to Easter as the Consummate Act of Healing. What a perfect description. Most often when I think of Easter I think of the resurrection and how I am grateful that because of this I will be able to see my own mother again. I have not as often reflected on all of the conditions that will be made right- because of the Resurrection. 

"The gift of resurrection is the Lord’s consummate act of healing. Thanks to Him, each body will be restored to its proper and perfect frame. Thanks to Him, no condition is hopeless. Thanks to Him, brighter days are ahead, both here and hereafter. Real joy awaits each of us—on the other side of sorrow. I testify that God lives, that Jesus is the Christ—the Master Healer. "-Rusell M. Nelson Oct. 2005 Ensign

I love that --NO condition is hopeless!! (physical, emotional or spiritual) Real joy awaits every single one of us because of all that occurred during the Easter Season. I know this is true. There is hope for a better day! This promise of hope rings throughout our scriptures. Elder Dyches said it beautifully,

"If you feel unclean, unloved, unhappy, unworthy, or unwhole, remember all that is unfair about life can be made right through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Have faith and patience in the Savior’s timing and purposes for you. “Be not afraid, only believe” (Mark 5:36).

Be assured the Savior still seeks to mend our souls and heal our hearts. He waits at the door and knocks."- Oct 2013 Ensign

I am going to say it again...and I want you to repeat it every time you doubt --

ALL THAT IS UNFAIR  ABOUT LIFE CAN BE MADE RIGHT THROUGH THE ATONEMENT OF JESUS CHRIST
