What does this week mean?

Guest post from Sister Kelsey Farmer: Easter is in one week, and as we go back in time this is the last week of our Savior's mortal ministry. Today begins one of the most important weeks in the history of the world. If it wasn't for this week then God's plan for all of us would cease to exist. But since that is not true, we have every reason to be grateful because one, God is our Father in Heaven who loves us; two, He has a plan for all of us because He wants us to be happy and live with Him again; and three, Jesus Christ is at the very center of that plan as our Savior and Redeemer. The last week of our Savior's mortal ministry includes many significant events which include, Jesus instituting the Sacrament at the Last Supper, Jesus suffering in the Garden of Gethsemane, the arrest, the trial, suffering again on the Cross at Calvary, and ending triumphantly with the empty tomb. Because of the restoration of the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ, we can better understand this Easter week. Here is a talk given that expounds on these moments in the scriptures. But as we go throughout this week, let us reflect upon these momentous experiences and how we can better bring the Savior, His life and His Atonement into our own.
