hello my friends welcome to another follow him favorite my name is Hank Smith I'm here with the amazing John by the way welcome John by the way thank you I just think you're the best hey John this week's question comes from Obadiah Obadiah is a book in the Bible it's only 21 versus long but on the very last burst there's a phrase that says and savior she'll come up on Mount Zion so John Michael owe him question of the week for you is what is the savior upon Mount Zion what does that phrase mean to you you know that I used to hear that when I was a kid I remember being told you can be a savior upon Mount Zion what and if you noticed that saviors it's a small s it's not the Savior there's one Savior Jesus Christ of course but we can act kind of in that role and what helps me what is his favorite on Mount Zion has to look at that sitting out there the topical guide says Jenny ology and templework Misha
 of Latter-day Saints and salvation for the dead so the idea of a savior I think if I'm getting this right is to do something for someone they can't do for themselves or maybe they can't do right now for themselves so we can go to the temple we can be a proxy for someone who did not have the opportunity to be baptized on this Earth and can be baptized for them or receive an endowment for the man in that way that's what I understand we can be a savior upon Mount Sinai guest Mount Zion means the temple and I get that right yeah I think so I think John we love Jesus so much we talk about him and if we were to just sit down with anybody listening they would say I absolutely love Jesus well why because of what he has done for me well in that same vein we can become like you said lowercase s saviors for other people who will look at you very similarly is the way they look at the Savior and say I love you wife because we
 you have done for me and doing my work at the temple and remember there's some blessing that comes for us as well the Joseph Smith said they can't be saved without us I totally understand that they can't be saved without us they don't have physical bodies but then he added we can't be saved without them that they are doing work for us on the other side and I think you're the one who taught me the Elder Holland I think said never underestimate your family on the other side of the veil never underestimate what the other side of the veil is doing for you but in order I think to take part in that in the morning or part of it is get yourself to the temple so you can be closer and closer to that Bale and to that connection yeah I think that those people that we get to do work for I think they'll want to find us one day in the Journal of Horace Commings he wrote that Joseph Smith said that those who had done the work for them they would pull their feet and be
 their knees and manifest the most Exquisite gratitude was just as a fun thing to look forward to you see those Folks at the temple who go every week and I've done thousands of names and think of those people in the greeting they will get but I like that you said that I remember after my father passed away way back in 2004 I was talking to her doctor Robert Millet brother Millet that we've had on our program before and put his arm around my shoulder and said your father will be able to do more for you now then she could have here and I never considered that before so I'm glad you brought that up so we need each other and the Lord has arranged a way for us to help each other and part of that for us right now is to go to the temple and we hope anyone listening right now we'll just get your calendar out and make an appointment to go to the temple if you have free time today don't wait any longer go get in the car and go get your shoes
 and if it's not too far away and get yourself over to the temple so you can take part of this saviors upon Mount Zion roll and if that's a step you need to take if you don't have a recommend right now I know the Lord the bishop art eager to give you one I experience that the Lord wants this person in the temple I used to feel when I was conducting those interviews as a bishop if that's the stuff you need to take I'll go take that stuff cuz there's just blessings within those walls go over do that recommended make it a trial of your faith say well I'll let you know I don't have time to go to the temple well it's a good moment of your faith to say well I'm going to make time I'm going to make time to get over there I'm going to cut out some sort of entertainment or I'm going to cut out some other activity and I'm going to get myself to the temple and I'm going to test the Lord on his promises and to make good on those promises
