»Od svih lekcija koje učimo iz Spasiteljeva života nijedna nije jasnija i snažnija od lekcije o poslušnosti«, podučio je starješina Robert D. Hales iz Zbora dvanaestorice apostola na općem saboru u travnju 2014. Spasiteljev nas primjer uči ne samo zašto je poslušnost Nebeskom Ocu važna nego i kako možemo biti poslušni. Dok sagledavate sljedeće primjere iz njegovog službeništva, razmislite o tome kako vas oni mogu dovesti na pravi put kojim ići u životu.

1. Iako je Isus bio bez grijeha, podložio se krštenju da »ispuni… što je u skladu s voljom Božjom« (Matej 3:13–17; vidi i 2. Nefi 31:4–7; Ivan 3:5).

2. U dobi od 12 godina, kada su Josip i Marija pronašli Isusa kako podučava u hramu, on im »bijaše… poslušan« te se poslušno vratio kući s njima (vidi Luka 2:42–51).

4. Obdržavao je šabat i sudjelovao službama u sinagogi (vidi Luka 4:16–44).
Jesus Christ depicted in the midst of people of varying races or nationalities. Christ is portrayed in white robes. He has His arms extended toward the people gathered around Him. Light emanates from the figure of Christ. The background behind the other figures is dark. The artist used the dark background to symbolize the power of Satan in the world. The light around Christ is symbolic of the protection and safety found in following Christ. (Doctrine and Covenants 1:36)
7. Uvijek poslušan svom Ocu, Isus je otišao u svijet duhova i ondje organizirao misionarski rad (vidi 1. Petrova 3:18–20; 4:6).
Slika

8. Isusa je iskušavao Sotona, ali on se nije prepustio (vidi Matej 4:1–11; NiS 20:22).
