There would be no Christmas if there had not been Easter. The babe Jesus of Bethlehem would be but another baby without the redeeming Christ of Gethsemane and Calvary, and the triumphant fact of the Resurrection. Gordon B. Hinckley The period from Palm Sunday to Easter morning presents a wonderful opportunity for Latter-day Saints to reflect upon the last days of our Lord s earthly ministry. In God So Loved the World, each chapter examines the scriptural account of the Savior s last days and hours, providing historical context, cultural background, and biblical insights. The book also discusses the significance and personal application of that day s events and suggests additional readings to increase our understanding of the Atonement and draw us closer to the Savior. A way to refocus our attention from the traditional holiday celebrations and experience a more meaningful observation of Easter. Can be used as a personal or family study guide/devotional. Includes a chronology of events leading up to the Resurrection, full-color artwork, photographs of sites, maps, and sidebar articles.
