We are so blessed to have so many resources available at our fingertips. Have you seen these videos? A relatively new series of videos available for download on computer, tablets, and smart phones allows us to view the life and teachings of Christ and the early apostles. What a great way to share the reason for Easter with our families than watching as the scriptures are brought to life. Here is the Triumphal Entry of our Lord and Savior shortly before his crucifixion. The videos can be located at www.lds.org.
