April 3, 1836, was Easter Sunday. After helping administer the sacrament to Saints gathered in the newly dedicated Kirtland Temple, Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery found a quiet place behind a veil in the temple and bowed in silent prayer.
Then, on this sacred day when Christians everywhere were commemorating the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, the risen Savior Himself appeared in His temple, declaring, βI am he who liveth, I am he who was slainβ (Doctrine and Covenants 110:4).
What does it mean to say that Jesus Christ is βhe who livethβ?
It doesnβt just mean that He rose from the tomb on the third day and appeared to His Galilean disciples. It means that He lives today. He speaks through prophets today. He leads His Church today. He heals wounded souls and broken hearts today.
So we can echo the words of Joseph Smithβs powerful testimony: βAfter the many testimonies which have been given of him, this is the testimony β¦ which we give of him: That he lives!β (Doctrine and Covenants 76:22).
We can hear His voice in these revelations.
We can witness His hand in our lives.
And we can each feel βthe joy this sentence gives: βI know that my Redeemer lives!ββ (Hymns, no. 136).
