This weekend on social media, Church leaders shared excerpts from their talks given during the April 2026 general conference. These messages, shared on Saturday and Sunday, April 4 and 5, invited viewers to focus more on the reality of Jesus Christ’s Resurrection and how their lives are affected.
President Dallin H. Oaks, President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, posted on April 4 about the significance of a solemn assembly. He shared that this event happens only when a new president and prophet has been set apart.
“I am grateful to be among those whose callings are formally recognized in this way and appreciate your participation in this significant occasion,” he said.
President Henry B. Eyring, first counselor in the First Presidency, posted April 4 about prayer and peace. He testified that Jesus Christ knows each of us.

President D. Todd Christofferson, second counselor in the First Presidency, posted April 5 about the character of Christ and how to develop it.
“Christlike character grows out of a Christlike heart,” he said. “Thus, if we are to succeed in developing a Christlike character, we must possess His motivations — His thoughts, desires, and intents of the heart. For us, it will require what the scriptures call a ‘mighty change of heart.’”
President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, acting president of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, posted April 5 about each person’s experience of encountering the empty tomb.

Elder David A. Bednar of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles posted April 4 about enduring to the end and having charity for others.
“The scriptural phrase ‘endure to the end’ is a repeated reminder of the mighty spiritual change in our hearts that should be ongoing throughout our lives; it also is His promise of what we may become if we truly are possessed of the pure love of Christ,” he said.
Elder Quentin L. Cook of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles posted April 5 about the sealing power restored to the earth by the prophet Elijah.
“I promise to you on this Easter day that as you adhere to His ordinances, covenants and commandments, you will grow closer in your relationship with our Savior, as well as your appreciation and gratitude for the sealing keys that have been restored in this dispensation,” he said.

Elder Ronald A. Rasband of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles posted April 5 about the reality of Jesus Christ’s Resurrection.

Elder Gary E. Stevenson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles posted a reel April 4 relating how handing over a piece of luggage at an airport may be similar to how Heavenly Father feels as His children leave their heavenly home.
“I suppose His great comfort is knowing that they do not travel alone,” he said. “Parents, family, leaders, friends, ministering brothers and sisters, you and me serve as stewards of His most precious possessions.”
Sister Kristin M. Yee, second counselor in the Relief Society general presidency, posted April 4 about ministering to the needs of Heavenly Father’s children one by one.

Elder Dale G. Renlund of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles posted April 5 about the blessings available to all because of Jesus Christ.

Elder Ulisses Soares of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles posted April 4 about how Jesus Christ is the True Vine (see John 15:1,5).

Elder Patrick Kearon of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles posted April 4 about being dedicated to the Savior’s ministry and work.

Elder Gérald Caussé of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles posted April 4 about how Jesus Christ loves everyone, but He also loves each person individually.
