“To find the most important day in history, we must go back to that evening in Gethsemane when Christ knelt in intense prayer and offered Himself as a ransom for our sins. Out of perfect love, He gave all that we might receive all. His supernal sacrifice, difficult to comprehend, reminds us of the universal debt of gratitude we owe Christ for His divine gift. Later that night, Jesus was brought before religious and political authorities who mocked Him, beat Him, and sentenced Him to a shameful death. He hung in agony upon the cross. His lifeless body was laid in a borrowed tomb. The third day, Jesus Christ, the Son of Almighty God, emerged from the tomb as a glorious, resurrected being of splendor, light, and majesty. There are many events throughout history that have profoundly affected the destiny of nations and peoples. But they cannot begin to compare to what happened on that first Easter morning.” – Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf
