We are all blessed to learn from the greatest teacher of all time:

Jesus Christ. Over the better part of the past 2,000 years,

I don't suppose there has passed a single second when somewhere in the world His teachings were not treasured, studied, pondered, repeated, and modeled. And is that not the goal of all teachers? To make a lasting difference for good? To bless the lives of others in a way that extends far beyond a lesson or classroom?

If we learn from Him, we will improve not only as teachers, regardless of our situation in life,

but we will also greatly improve as human beings.

So it is my privilege and honor to speak to you today about the Savior,

because the best way to become a better teacher is to become

a better follower of Jesus Christ. Teaching in the Savior’s Way will help all who are teaching. It can provide inspiration and instruction for parents, neighbors, ministering brothers and sisters, missionaries, and all disciples of Jesus Christ.

Discipleship means loving, caring for, blessing, and lifting others,

and that means teaching. In other words,

if you are trying to love and serve as Jesus did, then you are a teacher.

And teaching in this Savior's way is for you and me.
