An empty grocery store parking lot in broad daylight? I do a double take every Easter when I pass Glenn’s and see no cars in the parking lot.
So many people are hopeful that they can continue their existence after passing from this earth, they take one day a year to celebrate the Savior’s resurrection with family and friends. For this one day, shopping is done in advance and the store parking lots are empty.
“We need not doubt the reality of the Resurrection simply because we do not understand it. We witness the constant miracle of birth; it is real, although not fully understood. The coming of a newborn child occurs under the direction of a loving Father in Heaven. So will the resurrection of everyone who has lived, who now lives, or who will yet live upon this planet.” (Elder Neal A. Maxwell, “Our Acceptance of Christ,” http://www.lds.org/ensign/1984/06/our-acceptance-of-christ?lang=eng&query=neal+maxwell+great+question+life )
Jesus broke “the bands of death” (Mosiah 16:7) that you and I can live forever. I am thankful for the peace and hope this miracle brings to my life.
