1As you read the testimonies of the Savior’s Resurrection in this outline, make note of the feelings and impressions that come to you from the Holy Ghost.
2During the last week of the Savior’s life, many Jews around Him were participating in the traditions of Passover.
3They prepared meals, sang songs, and gathered together to remember the deliverance of the house of Israel from slavery to the Egyptians.
4Families listened to the story of the destroying angel passing over the homes of their ancestors who had marked their doors with lamb’s blood.
5Amid all these celebrations so rich with the symbolism of deliverance, relatively few were aware that Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, was about to deliver them from the slavery of sin and death—through His suffering, His death, and His Resurrection.
6Even so, there were those who recognized Jesus as their promised Messiah, their eternal Deliverer.
7From that day onward, disciples of Jesus Christ have borne witness to all the world “that Christ died for our sins … ; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day” (1 Corinthians 15:3–4).
8One way to focus on the blessings of the Savior’s Atonement this week is to spend time each day reading about the last week of Jesus’s life (a possible reading schedule follows).
9What do you find in these chapters that helps you feel the Savior’s love?
10What do you learn about His power to deliver you from sin and death?
11What do you learn about enduring trials and overcoming weaknesses?
12How are you exercising faith in His power of deliverance?
13Sunday: Triumphal entry into Jerusalem (Matthew 21:6–11)
14Monday: Cleansing the temple (Matthew 21:12–16)
15Tuesday: Teaching in Jerusalem (Matthew 21–23)
16Wednesday: Continued teaching (Matthew 24–25)
17Thursday: The Passover and Christ’s suffering in the Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26)
18Friday: Trial, Crucifixion, and burial (Matthew 27:1–61)
19Saturday: Christ’s body lies in the tomb (Matthew 27:62–66) while His spirit ministers in the spirit world (D&C 138)
20Sunday: The appearance of the resurrected Christ (Matthew 28:1–10)
21Imagine what it would have been like for the disciples to watch Jesus being mocked, mistreated, and crucified.
22They had been witnesses of His power, felt the truth of His teachings, and had faith that He was the Son of God.
23Witnessing His death may have been a trial of faith for some, but soon they became witnesses of the great miracle of His Resurrection.
24What can you learn from the accounts of those who witnessed the Resurrected Savior?
25Mark or note each person’s experience in Matthew 28:1–10; Luke 24:13–35; John 20:19–29; and 1 Corinthians 15:1–8, 55.
26(Note that other witnesses of the resurrected Christ can be found in 3 Nephi 11; Mormon 1:15; Ether 12:38–39; Doctrine and Covenants 76:19–24; 110:1–10; and Joseph Smith—History 1:15–17.)
27In these accounts, what strengthens your faith in the literal Resurrection of the Lord?
28After the Savior’s Resurrection, others were resurrected and appeared to many (see Matthew 27:52–53; 3 Nephi 23:9).
29Why do you feel it is important that this was recorded in both the Bible and the Book of Mormon?
30See also “Jesus Is Resurrected,” “The Risen Lord Appears to the Apostles,” “Blessed Are They That Have Not Seen, and Yet Have Believed” (videos, LDS.org).
31Elder Paul V. Johnson’s daughter Alisa, who suffered from terminal cancer and endured many surgeries, exemplified the “lively hope” Peter described in 1 Peter 1:3–11.
32Elder Johnson shared a letter Alisa wrote at Easter time, shortly before she passed away:
33“Easter is a reminder of all that I hope for myself.
34That someday I will be healed and someday I will be whole.
35Someday I won’t have any metal or plastic inside of me.
36Someday my heart will be free of fear and my mind free of anxieties. …
37I am so glad I truly believe in a beautiful afterlife” (“And There Shall Be No More Death,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2016, 121).
38What words or phrases in 1 Peter 1:3–11 give you hope because of Jesus Christ?
39When have you felt that hope?
40How can you share the hope you have through Jesus Christ with those you love?
41See also Alma 27:28; 36:1–24; 3 Nephi 9:11–17; Moroni 7:40–41.
42As you read the scriptures with your family, the Spirit can help you know what principles to emphasize and discuss in order to meet the needs of your family.
43Here are some suggestions:
44The “Holy Week” section of mormon.org/easter contains a time line and description of what happened on each day of the last week of the Savior’s life.
45Each day of the week your family could review these descriptions to see what the Savior did that day, or you could read about His last week in the scriptures as a family (see a suggested list in the “Ideas for Personal Scripture Study” section).
46Consider singing songs together about the Savior’s Atonement and Resurrection during this week, including some that are less familiar to you (see the topics index of Hymns or Children’s Songbook, under topics such as “Atonement,” “Easter,” or “Resurrection”).
47To help family members learn the songs, you could show pictures that go with the words.
48As a family, read “The Living Christ: The Testimony of the Apostles” (Ensign or Liahona, Apr. 2000, 2–3; see also LDS.org), and invite each family member to pick an Easter message from this testimony to share with others.
49For example, you might create posters to display on social media, on your front door, or in your window.
50For more ideas for teaching children, see this week’s outline in Come, Follow Me—For Primary.
51Set manageable goals.
52Spending even a few minutes a day studying the scriptures can bless your life.
53Commit to studying each day, find a way to remind yourself of your commitment, and do your best to follow through.
