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).
