\"The<\/a>
\u201cHe is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.\u201d
(Matthew 28:6)

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIf man had his way, the plan of redemption would be an endless and bloody conflict. In reality, salvation was bought not by Jesus\u2019 fist, but by His nail-pierced hands; not by muscle but by love; not by vengeance but by forgiveness; not by force but by sacrifice. Jesus Christ our Lord surrendered in order that He might win; He destroyed His enemies by dying for them and conquered death by allowing death to conquer Him.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

I wish everyone\u00a0a joyous Easter.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

As the traditional Greek Easter greeting has it,<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u03a7\u03c1\u03b9\u03c3\u03c4\u03cc\u03c2 \u1f00\u03bd\u03ad\u03c3\u03c4\u03b7!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u1f08\u03bb\u03b7\u03b8\u1ff6\u03c2 \u1f00\u03bd\u03ad\u03c3\u03c4\u03b7!<\/span><\/p>\n

Christ is risen!<\/p>\n

Truly he is risen!<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

There is no greater, no more important, no more transformative message than that. \u00a0None. \u00a0Anywhere.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Friday,\u00a0Interpreter: A Journal of Mormon Scripture<\/em>\u00a0published a brief testimony of Easter specially written for us by Mitt Romney:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Or, if you prefer, you can just listen to me as I\u00a0read<\/em>\u00a0Governor Romney\u2019s message. \u00a0It\u2019s only two and half minutes long:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.mormoninterpreter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/romney-v15-2015-pp1-2-AUDIO.mp3<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

On behalf of the Interpreter Foundation, too, I wish you a wonderful Easter.<\/p>\n
