"If I have a wish for you, it is that you find peace in your actual life — not the life you think you would have if you were able to finish your to-do list, have three extra hours in a day, and finally achieve your goals. My wish is that you and I might slow down and turn more easily and comfortingly to Christ, and bask in His promised peace."

I’m a Christian.

He is risen! And because Christ rose again, we will too. Thanks to Him, no pain, fear, failure, or unfairness is permanent. This is greater love. This is Easter.

It’s entirely possible this is the greatest performance of a Christian hymn ever recorded.
Lyrics:
Jesus climbed the hill to the garden still.
His steps were heavy and slow.
Love and a prayer took Him there
To the place only He could go.
Gethsemane. Jesus loves me,
So He went willingly to Gethsemane.
He felt all that was sad, wicked, or bad,
All the pain we would ever know.
While His friends were asleep, He fought to keep
His promise made long ago.
Gethsemane. Jesus loves me,
So He went willingly to Gethsemane.
The hardest thing that ever was done,
The greatest pain that ever was known,
The biggest battle that ever was won—
This was done by Jesus!
The fight was won by Jesus!
Gethsemane. Jesus loves me,
So He gave His gift to me in Gethsemane.
Gethsemane. Jesus loves me,
So He gives His gift to me from Gethsemane.

This phrase is older than you think.
“Solemn assembly” is a phrase from the Hebrew Bible that describes significant gatherings that occurred during Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles. The first temple in Jerusalem was dedicated during the time of a solemn assembly.
Solemn assemblies are special, sacred meetings held for a variety of holy purposes. They require Latter-day Saints to bring an elevated sense of spirituality with them into the meeting. These assemblies have included the sustaining of new Church presidents, the dedication of a temple or another significant building (such as the Conference Center), the introduction of new scripture, the instruction of priesthood leaders, and other special gatherings.
Join us at 10 a.m. MDT on April 4, 2026, for the Saturday morning session of general conference and solemn assembly as we sustain our prophet, @OaksDallinH .

As the years have passed, I have become increasingly humbled as I have thought about, studied, and found immense comfort in the immeasurable gift of our Savior, the Atonement of Jesus Christ. The human mind can scarcely begin to comprehend how completely the destiny of mankind changed because of what happened in Gethsemane, on the cross, and at the tomb.
There are no words to describe the magnitude of His precious gift. It will never be required of another. Jesus Christ suffered “once for all” (Hebrews 10:10).
As one of His ordained Apostles, I have experienced the spiritual and personal moments that have brought to me a sure and certain witness that Jesus Christ lives. At this Easter season, may we rejoice in singing:
“He is risen! He is risen! ...
Death is conquered; man is free.
Christ has won the victory”
(“He Is Risen!” Hymns, no 199).

The road to redemption began with “hosanna.” As we remember the triumphal entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem, may our hearts welcome Him this Easter season.

“But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.” Matt 19:26
What feels impossible in your life is already possible with God.
Don’t limit your faith in Him—He’s not limited by your circumstances.

The Lord’s Church will not fall.
Not because of politics.
Not because of popularity.
Not because people are perfect.
It will endure because it is His. Founded by revelation, sustained by priesthood authority, and led by Jesus Christ Himself.
Kingdoms rise and fall. Cultures shift. Critics come and go.
His Church remains.
The stone cut without hands keeps rolling.
And it will fill the whole earth.
