Doctrine and Covenants 69: 1




 How are your "true and faithful" friends helping you follow Jesus Christ?

"Hearken unto me, saith the Lord your God, for my servant Oliver Cowdery’s sake. It is not wisdom in me that he should be entrusted with the commandments and the moneys which he shall carry unto the land of Zion, except one go with him who will be true and faithful." (Doctrine and Covenants 69: 1)

And here's the commentary entitled: "“True and faithful” friends help me follow Jesus Christ." : 

"Why do you think it was “wisdom in [the Lord]” for someone “true and faithful” to accompany Oliver Cowdery on the assignment described in this verse? How does this principle apply to you?"



True and faithful friends indeed help me follow Jesus Christ. They love me in the truest sense of the word and care about me and so they want what's best for me. There is nothing else that is best for me other than following Jesus Christ. It brings me the best blessings I can ever receive--those that are worth all the riches of this world, and even more--the riches of eternity.
