And if Christ had not risen from the dead, or have broken the bands of death that the grave should have no victory, and that death should have no sting, there could have been no resurrection.
But there is a resurrection, therefore the grave hath no victory, and the sting of death is swallowed up in Christ. - Mosiah 16:8"Today is just a grain of sand in the Sahara of eternity," said President Spencer W. Kimball in the October 1978 general conference. "We have also a hope in Christ for the eternity that lies ahead; otherwise, as Paul said, we would be `of all men most miserable.' (1 Cor. 15:19.)
"How great would be our sorrow - and justly so - if there were no resurrection! How miserable we would be if there were no hope of life eternal! If our hope of salvation and eternal reward should fade away, we would certainly be more miserable than those who never had such an expectancy."
