Elder Jeffrey R. Holland: “If you can leave
your students with one principal commitment in response to the Savior’s
incomparable sacrifice for them, His payment for their transgressions, His
sorrow for their sins, leave with them the necessity to obey—to yield in their
own difficult domain and hours of decision to ‘the will of the Father’ [3 Ne.
11:11], whatever the cost. They won’t always do that, any better than you and I
have been able to do it, but that ought to be their goal; that ought to be
their aim. The thing Christ seems most anxious to stress about His
mission—beyond the personal virtues, beyond the magnificent sermons, and even
beyond the healing—is that He submitted His will to the will of the Father”
(“Teaching, Preaching, Healing,” Ensign, Jan. 2003, 41).
