Hello, my friends. Welcome to another follow him favorites. My name is Hank Smith. I'm here with the incredible John by the way. Hello John. Hello, Hank. John, we're going to take on a single question from this week's lesson and come follow me. It's this question. How do you feel as you read about the Savior's resurrection? How has it affected you? Your outlook on life, your relationships, your faith in Christ, and your faith in other gospel truths? Without that, we don't have anything. That was the whole gospel, is that all of us can live again because of that. We often talk about the atonement of Jesus Christ and our sins, but it's also overcoming death, overcoming our physical death. Well, I'll live again, I'll live with God again. What's more important than that, I'm not sure.

The difference in the way you view life and death is dramatic when you believe in the resurrection or when you don't. When you don't believe in life after death, this life can seem so meaningless and pointless. Yeah. A pointless and these relationships that you have that are so beautiful and wonderful kind of crumble into dust, but the resurrection changed all that.

The resurrection is now these relationships, the things we learn, all the things we go through are all pushing us forward towards a next life, our next step in our eternal progression. I think you're right. I believe in the resurrection changes everything about your perspective and the way you think and interact with the people around you. Yeah, everything is more positive and the hard things are easier because you know, this isn't the end. This is something I'm going through. This is something I can learn from. This is something I can look for what the Lord's trying to teach me, but there's something more wonderful coming. If this guy, Jesus of Nazareth truly was resurrected, what else is he gonna do? That's exciting to me. What else has he done and what else is he going to do? And when he comes again, what is he going to do? If he really did all this, he is literally the most exciting, important dramatic being

in the history of the world and we get to be attached to him and his work. Yeah, helps us look forward to everything. Yeah. We hope you'll join us on our full podcast. It's called Follow Him. You can get it wherever you get your podcast. and then come back next week. We'll do another Follow Him favor.
