Jacob 1

"And we did magnify our office unto the Lord, taking upon us the responsibility, answering the sins of the people upon our own heads if we did not teach them the word of God with all diligence; wherefore, by laboring with our might their blood might not come upon our garments; otherwise their blood would come upon our garments, and we would not be found spotless at the last day" (19).

When we are given a calling by the Lord, we are asked to magnify it. What does that mean though? President Thomas S. Monson said:

What does it mean to magnify a calling? It means to build it up in dignity and importance, to make it honorable and commendable in the eyes of all men, to enlarge and strengthen it, to let the light of heaven shine through it to the view of other men. 

And how does one magnify a calling? Simply by performing the service that pertains to it. An elder magnifies the ordained calling of an elder by learning what his duties as an elder are and then by doing them. As with an elder, so with a deacon, a teacher,a priest, a bishop, and each who holds office in the priesthood (in Conference Report, Apr. 2005, 59; or Ensign, May 2005, 54).

For me, a Relief Society teacher, the best way to magnify a calling would be to prepare for the lesson in the first place. Secondly, I should do figure out ways to be the best possible teacher I can be, which includes figuring out different ways to invite the Spirit into the lesson.
