Jesus the Christ - James E. Talmage
As the Nephites remained in darkness following the great destruction following the Savior's death, a voice was heard saying -
“Behold, I am Jesus Christ the Son of God. I created the heavens and the earth, and all things that in them are. I was with the Father from the beginning. I am in the Father, and the Father in me; and in me hath the Father glorified his name.”
James E. Talmage then commented -
"The Lord commanded that the people should no longer serve Him with bloody sacrifices and burnt offerings; for the law of Moses was fulfilled; and thenceforth the only acceptable sacrifice would be the broken heart and the contrite spirit; and such should never be rejected. The humble and repentant the Lord would receive as His own. “Behold,” He said, “for such I have laid down my life, and have taken it up again; therefore repent, and come unto me ye ends of the earth, and be saved.”"
It appears to me that at this point in time, the Savior has been resurrected saying "I have taken it up again".
Just my thoughts.
