Happy Easter Sunday, whether you celebrate it or not! Its a great day for Christians (like me) to celebrate Jesus Christ, especially both His Atonement and His resurrection. Heres one of my twelve Facebook wall posts today to acknowledge this days passage. Its a powerful address entitled The Purifying Power of Gethsemane, in which Elder Bruce R. McConkie (shortly before he died) expounds the reality of the Saviors Atonement to a General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1985 Apr. Its one of the best such talks that Ive ever heard. As he testifies so fervently in it: And now, as pertaining to this perfect atonement, wrought by the shedding of the blood of God---I testify that it took place in Gethsemane and at Golgotha, and as pertaining to Jesus Christ, I testify that he is the Son of the Living God and was crucified for the sins of the world. He is our Lord, our God, and our King. This I know of myself independent of any other person. I am one of his witnesses, and in a coming day I shall feel the nail marks in his hands and in his feet and shall wet his feet with my tears. But I shall not know any better then than I know now that he is Gods Almighty Son, that he is our Savior and Redeemer, and that salvation comes in and through his atoning blood and in no other way.
