This week on social media, several leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints expressed joy, reverence and testimony of Jesus Christ’s infinite atoning sacrifice during this Easter season.
Elder David A. Bednar of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles posted a reel on March 29 about his experience looking for references to the Savior’s Resurrection in the scriptures. He invited viewers to do the same.
“In this special and sacred Easter season, I joyfully declare my witness that Jesus Christ is the Only Begotten Son of the Eternal Father. He lives. He is risen,” he said.
Elder Quentin L. Cook of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles posted on April 2 sharing about the Savior’s charge to “love one another,” given during the Last Supper. He expressed that this commandment given by Jesus Christ before His suffering in Garden of Gethsemane requires obedience.
“We manifest our love for God when we keep His commandments and serve His children. We don’t fully comprehend the Atonement, but we can spend our lives trying to be more loving and kind, regardless of the adversity we face,” he said.
Relief Society General President Camille N. Johnson highlighted her insights from her Eurasian ministry viewing khachkars, ornate stone crosses decorated with fruit and flowers, in this March 31 post.
“What a beautiful reminder that Jesus Christ’s crucifixion did not mark the end. It was just the beginning,” she said.
Elder Neil L. Andersen of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles posted on March 31 testifying of the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
“As one of His ordained Apostles, I have experienced the spiritual and personal moments that have brought to me a sure and certain witness that Jesus Christ lives,” he said.
Reflecting on the significance of the closing days of Holy Week, Primary General President Susan H. Porter noted the love Christ gave through His suffering in the Garden of Gethsemane, Crucifixion and Resurrection in this post from April 1.
“On Sunday morning, He rose as a resurrected, glorified being with the greatest joy the world has ever known. He did this out of His love for us,” she said.
Elder Ronald A. Rasband of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles posted a reel on March 29 describing how on Palm Sunday nearly 2,000 years ago, people celebrated the Savior’s entry into Jerusalem with palms.
Quoting Revelation 7:9, he said, “Though we do not stand at the gates of Jerusalem today with palms in our hands, the time will come when a great multitude from ‘all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, [will stand] before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands.’”
Elder Rasband posted again on March 30 sharing about the miracle of Christ’s Resurrection.
Elder Patrick Kearon of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles posted a reel on April 2 about the question in John 20:15 that angels, and later the Savior, asked Mary upon her returning to the tomb; “Why weepest thou?” He explained how this same question is extended to viewers during the Easter season.
“I pray that you will find in your faith the light, the love, and the joy that He would have all of us feel at this sacred time of year,” he said.
In an April 1 post, Sister J. Anette Dennis , first counselor in the Relief Society general presidency, shared from her April 2026 Liahona magazine remarks expounding on John 15:13 about practicing the Savior’s “greater love.”
“He voluntarily laid down His life for each of us and, in so doing, demonstrated infinite love,” she wrote.
Elder Gérald Caussé of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles posted a reel on March 31 talking about a new hymn recently released called “Long Ago, Within a Garden.” He said that the hymn talks about three gardens, the Garden of Eden, the Garden of Gethsemane and the Garden of the Empty Tomb.
“I testify that what happened on Easter Day really happened. Jesus Christ is resurrected. He lives,” he said.
Elder Clark G. Gilbert of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles posted on March 27 about speaking at Harvard University. He encouraged viewers to foster bridges of faith and create Christ-centered belonging in their communities.
“I admire those who encourage faith and moral formation in young people, and I am grateful for friends of other faith traditions who are committed to these same principles. It was a blessing to engage with so many of these remarkable friends this week,” he said.
Sister Amy A. Wright, first counselor in the Primary general presidency, relayed an experience she shared with a friend who attended a Church meeting for the first time in this March 31 post.
Sister Wright was surprised by her friend’s wonder and testified, “Jesus Christ lives, and He is coming again. This changes everything.”
In a March 28 post, Sister Tracy Y. Browning, second counselor in the Primary general presidency, sat with two Primary children to talk about their thoughts on the upcoming general conference. “Even as a young disciple of Jesus Christ, you can prepare to listen to the words of prophets and apostles, knowing the Lord has a message waiting for you.”
In another post shared on April 2, Sister Browning shared her testimony of Jesus Christ and how the Easter season brings her a “renewed gratitude” for Him.
Brother Gabriel W. Reid, second counselor in the Sunday School general presidency, shared his testimony of Christ’s presence in the temple in a March 30 post on the Sunday School’s Gospel Learning and Teaching account.
“I’ve found the temple to be a place to step away from the noise of the world and draw closer to Him,” he wrote.
