Follow Jesus Christ with Footsteps of Faith
Excerpts
Brothers and sisters, I testify that as we follow Jesus Christ with footsteps of faith, there is hope. There is hope in the Lord Jesus Christ. There is hope for all in this life. There is hope to overcome our mistakes, our sorrows, our struggles, and our trials and our troubles. There is hope in repentance and being forgiven and in forgiving others. I testify that there is hope and peace in Christ. He can carry us today through difficult times. He did it for the early pioneers, and He will do it now for each one of us. …
As I think about pioneers who have prepared the way for others, I first think of the Prophet Joseph Smith. …
Our missionaries today are modern-day pioneers because they share this glorious message [of the Restoration] with people around the world, thus opening the way for our Heavenly Father’s children to know Him and His Son, Jesus Christ. …
President Nelson has been a pioneer in the Church. …
He is teaching us how to become more spiritually self-reliant. …
Our Savior, Jesus Christ, is the ultimate pioneer in preparing the way. Indeed, He is “the way” [John 14:6] for the plan of salvation to be accomplished so that we can repent and, through faith in Him, return to our Heavenly Father. …
May we ever follow in the footsteps of Jesus Christ and, with faith in our every footstep, focus on Him, keeping our feet firmly planted on the covenant path.
