I was interested to see what President Monson's talk would be about, and it did not disappoint. We had this great theme of following the prophet and then the Prophet, the President of the Church, talked about the importance of following the Savior. That is the point, isn't it? We aren't supposed to follow the prophet because of how great or wonderful the prophet is, but because the prophet can lead us to the Savior and help us walk in His footsteps.
Every principle we teach in any sacrament meeting or anywhere else the gospel comes back to one principle, the truth and divinity of the mission of the Savior Jesus Christ..
Just following the example of a good man like Thomas S. Monson is not a bad thing, but following the example of the prophet of God, President Monson, will help us come closer to our Lord and Savior.
May we all continue to follow the prophet and follow the Savior.
