Garden Tomb

One of my friends spoke to me recently about the Garden Tomb.

The image that came to my mind... is standing in that Tomb, seeing it empty and bare. I think for once in my life I understood some small portion of how Mary must have felt coming to the tomb and finding it empty, devoid of the body of Christ.

And the question that came to my mind was "What if there was no Christ?" What if that tomb was just a barren room. What if he really and truly had been gone?

And this thought... just made me cry. I'm not sure how strong a testimony I have had in my life of Christ, and the Atonement... I believe in them, of course... but I just don't know how firm an imprint they have left on my heart. But considering the idea of not having a Savior really touched me. Even if there are so many more things I should be doing to rely on Christ, I still cannot imagine a world without Him. What is this life without Christ?

Christ Lives.
I only wish that with this knowledge, I can do my best to open my heart to his gospel and make any and all necessary changes in my life to better facilitate having the Spirit in my life.
