Tonight, we read about what an ensign is and about several examples of ensigns, including us.
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 5:14-16
As part of being a light to the world and letting our light shine before others, we should do our best to maintain high moral standards, especially in pubic. This is, of course, far easier said than done, but it's important to try. We can't lead others to the light of the Gospel unless we ourselves are living by it. If we want to help others find the Gospel path, we have to be on it ourselves. Rallying others around the standard of the Church requires us to uphold those standards.
It's important to help others find the Gospel of Jesus Christ, but, to that end, it's even more important to live it.
