Elder Boyd K. Packer said, “Power comes when a teacher has done all that he can to prepare, not just the individual lesson, but in keeping his life in tune with the Spirit. If he will learn to rely on the Spirit for inspiration, he can go before his class … secure in the knowledge that he can teach with inspiration” (Teach Ye Diligently, rev. ed. [1991], 358–59).
The Savior taught by example. His life was in tune with the Spirit constantly and therefore He was able to teach with power and inspiration. We will never be as perfect as Christ, but we can try our best to live our lives in such a way that we too can be in tune with the Spirit constantly. We can pray often, we can read the scriptures daily, we can go to church and fulfill our callings to the best of our ability. We can be baptized, take the sacrament and go to the temple as much as possible. Others will see your acts. They will want to know Christ because they know you. You will be able to teach them about Christ with inspiration and power because you will be like Him. You will teach your family, the primary children, and others by example.
