Today is Easter. As I partook of the sacrament, I felt the significance of the day so profoundly. I partook of His flesh and His blood commemorating my redemption by Jesus on the anniversary of that complete redemption! As I basked in that truth, I felt that familiar knowing fill me from head to toe that Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah and Holy One of Israel.
The Holy Ghost posed a question: Because you know that Jesus is the Christ and rose from the dead, what else do you know?
So many things made possible by Jesus flooded my mind, but I caught hold on the ultimate promises of covenanting with Christ. Because I know Jesus Christ lives again, I know covenant blessings will be fulfilled. So many scriptures talk about those blessings, but Doctrine and Covenants 76 seems to mention everything!
Covenant Blessings Will Be Fulfilled
Because I know that Jesus Christ rose from the dead, I know that through Him I can claim these promised blessings:
