The Divine Mission of Jesus Christ: Exemplar
As we understand that Jesus Christ is our example in all things, we can increase our desire to follow Him. The scriptures are full of encouragement for us to follow in Christ's footsteps. To the Nephites, Christ said, "For the works which ye have seen me do that shall ye also do" (3 Nephi 27:21). To Thomas, Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me" (John 14:6).
Today our leaders remind us to set the Savior as our example. Linda K. Burton, Relief Society general President, said, "When each of us had the doctrine of the Atonement written deep in our hearts, then we will begin to become the kind of people the Lord wants us to be."
President Thomas S. Monson said, "Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, is our Exemplar and our strength."
Let us resolve to draw near to Jesus Christ, to obey His commandments, and to strive to return to our Heavenly Father.
