YUKON OKLAHOMA STAKE

Just before Christ died, he uttered the words, "It is finished" (John 19:30). One might take this to mean that it was all over, that Christ was saying He had failed His mission and would be gone forever. 

This phrase, however, actually meant that Christ had completed His mission on earth. He had finished the Atonement and had fulfilled the will of the Father.

Christ lives! He was resurrected, overcoming death, so that we might also live again and be forgiven of our sins and overcome all of the trials and hardships that might befall us.

What a blessing it is to know that Christ suffered on our behalf, so that we wouldn't have to live and die with no hope for redemption.

To enjoy the full benefits of the Atonement, we should devote ourselves to Heavenly Father, doing His will and repenting when we fall short. This is what the Atonement and Resurrection is all about.

Let us remember Christ and try to become better each day, so that we can one day have the blessing of eternal life.

Our stake has a wonderful opportunity to provide beds for children in need. This not only provides comfort, but it provides emotional and mental support for members of our community.

By participating in this service opportunity, you will not only bless those you are serving, but also uplift and bless yourself. Who knows, you may even make new friends!

If you are interested in serving, it would be helpful if you could register as soon as possible (click here).
