The Answer is Jesus

Elder Ryan K. Olsen

General Authority Seventy

“The Answer is Jesus”


Elder Olsen teaches that the answer to our challenges and questions is Jesus Christ.

  • “The answer to the simplest questions, and to the most complex problems, is always the same. The answer is Jesus. Every solution is found in him.”

  • The Savior looks on the heart and is no respecter of persons. Consider how he chose his apostles. He didn't pay attention to status or wealth. He invites us to follow him, and reassures us that we belong with him.

  • When sister missionary had doubts, he prayed for inspiration and asked the question: “If you had an investigating friend who asked this question, how would you reply?”

  • “Serving is not about you; it is about the Savior.”

  • The answer is simple: It is always Jesus.

  • "When we have questions or doubts, we may feel that the solutions are too complex or that finding answers is too confusing. May we remember that the adversary, even the father of all lies, is the architect of confusion."

  • Jesus is the master of simplicity.
