Today we continue our Easter week study, firstly by comparing the events of the Holy Week and the traditions within the passover season that this week fell on. We then consider the blessing of the Resurrection further, identifying the importance of death in God's plan for us. 

President Russell M Nelson: If the body’s capacity for normal function, defense, repair, regulation, and regeneration were to prevail without limit, life here would continue in perpetuity. Yes, we would be stranded here on earth! Mercifully for us, our Creator provided for aging and other processes that would ultimately result in our physical death. Death, like birth, is part of life. Scripture teaches that ‘it was not expedient that man should be reclaimed from this temporal death, for that would destroy the great plan of happiness.’ To return to God through the gateway we call death is a joy for those who love Him and are prepared to meet Him. Eventually the time will come when each‘spirit and … body shall be reunited again in … perfect form; both limb and joint shall be restored to its proper frame,’ never to be separated again. For these physical gifts, thanks be to God!
