A true servant will always point you to Christ. In order to accurately point to Him, the scriptures will be used. Servants in these last days who desire Zion will labor to get everyone closer to the Savior. They know that to draw closer to God is to draw closer with each other. Becoming one with Christ inevitably leads to becoming one with each other. The word of Christ will point a straight course to eternal bliss. Zion is that promised land. As Alma taught his son Helaman, "the words of Christ, if we follow their course, [will] carry us beyond this vale of sorrow into a far better land of promise" (LDS Alma 37:45).
I've seen a triangle used to illustrate this point.
As we move towards Christ, we also move towards each other.
Though a chasm may separate us now, as we move closer to Him that gulf between us gets smaller, as illustrated by the dashed line compared to our previous starting points:
With this in mind, I recommend reading T&C 171 Chapter 10 of The Testimony of St. John, and in particular the Lord's prayer at the end of the chapter, starting in verse 30.
