Sharon, thanks for posting that video .
This is HUGE : the resurrection of Jesus from the dead . He died for us , and He rose from the
dead to defeat death — for us ! If that does’nt get one’s heart a pumping nothing will !
Hey all. Quick, sincere question:
what do lds think of Easter?
What I have noticed with LDS friends is that there seems to be much more emphasis on Christmas, rather than Easter, as a religious holiday. Some attention is paid to Easter Sunday but Good Friday gets a pass…I remember asking an LDS acquaintance what her church had planned for Good Friday, (I didn’t know much about Mormons at that point and just assumed they’d have a service) and receiving a blank look in response. I have since learned about the LDS belief that the Christ’s atonement took place in the Garden of Gethsemane, so that would explain the discomfort with Good Friday. I have since wished I had asked this person their thoughts on I Peter 2:24, which clearly states that Jesus bore our sins in His body while on the tree.
MJP, this blog post by Holly Welker at Religion Dispatches might be of interest to you: Mormons’ Puzzling Indifference to Easter.
Thanks, Sharon, I am heading over there now.
