Week 4: The Savior's Footsteps

What would it have been like to follow the Savior? What would it have been like to see Him heal the sick? Feed the hungry? Clothe the naked? Perform the work of the Father? I’ve often wondered what it would have been like to walk with the Savior. As I sat pondering these questions, I realized that we are able to walk with the Savior every day. We may not be physically following Him as He walked the earth. But we are walking in His footsteps as we try to live as He would each day. When we hold the door for someone, talk to someone who is having a bad day, share the joyful message of the gospel, or simply share a smile, we are walking with the Savior. Jesus Christ extends an invitation to each of us. “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:28-30). Christ walked the earth so we would never have to walk alone. When we accept and act upon His invitation, He will always be by our side. And we indeed will be able to follow the Saviors footsteps.
