In a recent devotional hosted by our mission president, President Swain brought up a favorite game of his childhood: follow the leader. He wanted to highlight a difference between how the leader in that game operates, and how Jesus Christ does.
In this game, the aim of the leader is to make it impossible for you to follow him. When you are incapable of doing as he has done you are eliminated from the game, and only when everyone has been eliminated does the leader win. As the followers, our goal is the same no matter who is our leader- to follow exactly- but unlike other leaders in this game Jesus' goal is not to eliminate us. No matter how often we fail, in fact, He won't eliminate us. The only ones who do that are ourselves, when we give up and refuse to try again.
