(Isaiah 55:6-7). "We urge all people to search the Savior's life for truths that will guide and give meaning to their own lives. And especially as we commemorate this great gifts to us we urge all to follow his example, that they may be able to enjoy the abundant blessings of God." , Church President Spencer W. Kimball Kim-ball and his counselors, President N. Eldon Tanner, President Marion G. Romney, and President Gordon B. Hinckley, Hin-ckley, comprise the First Presidency, chief governing body of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. |
