Section 43

The Lord instructs his people to sustain the prophet and to not receive revelation pertaining to the whole church from anyone else.  Thomas S. Monson is the Lord’s prophet on the earth today.  He receives revelation and commandments from the Lord for us in our day just as the prophets of old.  We have just enjoyed hearing from him and the other Apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ at General Conference.  Here are some things he said:

Attend the temple

During the April 2015 general conference, President Thomas S. Monson, bore testimony of the blessings of temple attendance:

“As we go to the temple, as we remember the covenants we make there, we will be better able to overcome those temptations and to bear our trials,” he said. “In the temple we can find peace.” . . .

“May our Heavenly Father bless us that we may have the spirit of temple worship that we may be obedient to His commandments, and that we may follow carefully the steps of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.”

Express gratitude for Jesus Christ's gifts

As we celebrate Easter, “May we offer prayers of gratitude for His great and marvelous gifts to us.”

Reflect on responsibilities and duty of callings

“Let us consider our callings,” he said. “Let us reflect on our responsibilities; let us determine our duty; and let us follow Jesus Christ, Our Lord.”

Quoting D&C 121:45, he said, “Let thy bowels also befull of charity towards all men, and to the household offaith, and let virtue garnish thy thoughts unceasingly.”

Learn of and follow Jesus Christ

“We are engaged in the work of the Lord Jesus Christ,” he concluded. “Let us learn of Him. Let us follow in His footsteps. Let us live by His precepts.”
