Christ has given the call, "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."(Matthew 11: 28.) How do we come unto Christ? We heed the call. We do what is right, even when it is hard. We love and serve others. We repent and become something better. We do the best we can.

Easter, Remembrance of Christ
Easter is all about Christ! It is a celebration of what He did for all of us. Easter is a time to remember the death and resurrection of our Lord. A time to remember the sacrifice made; a sacrifice that we could not do. "For behold, he surely must die that salvation may come; yea, it behooveth him and becometh expedient that he dieth, to bring to pass the resurrection of the dead, that thereby men may be brought into the presence of the Lord."(Helaman 14:15). A sacrifice that has opened the door to Heaven. Opened the gate to all if we repent and turn to Him. "Yea, thus we see that the gate of heaven is open unto all, even to those who will believe on the name of Jesus Christ, who is the Son of God."(Helaman 3:28).

"Peace, be still."
"Peace, be still." This is a simple phrase that the Savior used to calm the storm in Mark 4: 39. He was awoken from his sleep in the middle of a great storm(verse38), "and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?" He calmed the storm, and in verse 40 "said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?" The Lord of all is willing to help us through our storms of life if we but ask Him.
