“How thankful we ought to be ... how thankful we are, for a prophet to counsel us in words of divine wisdom as we walk our paths in these complex and difficult times. The solid assurance we carry in our hearts, the conviction that God will make his will known to his children through his recognized servant is the real basis of our faith and activity. We either have a prophet or we have nothing: and having a prophet, we have everything” (Teachings of Gordon B. Hinckley, pgs. 499–500).

A Prophet's testimony:

          “I believe that none of us can conceive the full import of what Christ did for us in Gethsemane, but I am grateful every day of my life for His atoning sacrifice in our behalf.

         “At the last moment, He could have turned back. But He did not. He passed beneath all things that He might save all things. In doing so, He gave us life beyond this mortal existence. He reclaimed us from the Fall of Adam.

         “To the depths of my very soul, I am grateful to Him. He taught us how to live. He taught us how to die. He secured our salvation."

(President Thomas S. Monson, “At Parting,” Liahona and Ensign, May 2011, 114)

         “I declare my personal witness that death has been conquered, victory over the tomb has been won. May the words made sacred by Him who fulfilled them become actual knowledge to all. Remember them. Cherish them. Honor them. He is risen."

(President Thomas S. Monson, "He is Risen", Liahona and Ensign, Apr. 2003, 7)
