“…if sometimes the harder you try, the more difficult it seems to get; if, just as you try to work on your limitations and your shortcomings, you find someone or something determined to challenge your faith; if, as you labor devotedly, you still feel moments of fear wash over you, remember that it has been so for some of the most faithful and marvelous people in every era of time. Also remember that there is a force in the universe determined to oppose every good thing you try to do.” — President Jeffrey R. Holland, “I Am He,” Oct 2024 🔹 PRINCIPLES –Christlike love = unyielding obedience to the Father. –Knowing the Savior’s true character banishes fear and invites covenant loyalty. –Persistent charity endures opposition and empowers disciples to stay the course. 🔹 KEY QUESTIONS –“Who is this Man soldiers fear?” –“What does ‘I Am He’ mean for you today?” –“How does obedient love crush darkness?” 🔹 PROBLEMS SOLVED BY THIS MESSAGE • Misconceptions of Jesus as permissive or distant. • Discouragement when faithful efforts seem unanswered. • Difficulty balancing truth and grace in discipleship.
