And now, ..as pertaining to Jesus Christ, I testify that he is the Son of the Living God and was crucified for the sins of the world. He is our Lord, our God, and our King. This I know of myself independent of any other person.
I am one of his witnesses, and in a coming day I shall feel the nail marks in his hands and in his feet and shall wet his feet with my tears.
But I shall not know any better then than I know now that he is God's Almighty Son, that he is our Savior and Redeemer, and that salvation comes in and through his atoning blood and in no other way.
Elder Bruce R. McConkie of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
Ensign May 1985
The following was given as an LDSSA fireside address in the University of Utah Special Events Center on Sunday, Dec. 9, 1979.
...I say to you, the resurrection of Jesus Christ is the greatest historical event in the world to date.
In this dispensation, commencing with the Prophet Joseph Smith, the witnesses are legion.
As one of those called as special witnesses, I add my testimony to those of fellow Apostles: He lives! He lives with resurrected body. There is no truth or fact of which I am more assured, or know better by personal experience, than the truth of the literal resurrection of our Lord.
From talk "Five Marks of the Divinity of Jesus Christ"
by President Ezra Taft Benson of the Quorum of the Twelve
