[Teachldsseminary] QUES - D&C 1

[debra storm]

An idea for *D&C 19* - this comes from the manual *Scripture Study for LDS
Families:*

Draw the two Greek letters (Alpha and Omega) on board. Ask if anyone knows
what they are
Read 19:1- 4 and explain that they are the first and last letters of the
Greek alphabet
Ask: Why is  A and O a good description of the Savior?
What other titles are used for Him in these verses?
What do these verses teach us about the powers of the Savior?
What other important characteristics of the Savior are taught here?
Why do *you* think it is important to know these characteristics of Jesus
Christ?

Activity: give each student a label and have him find something that is his
and put the label on it (they will probably go into their school bags)
ake a few minutes to identify each item by using that person's name with
it...This is Bill' pencil; This is Karen's calculator...
WE often use our name to identify our things.
Now think of some characteristics that  are particular to each student -
call them out
If I say (happy) who do you think of?
If I say (a joker) who do you think of?.....
Explain that our names can also be used to describe our characteristics.
Keep all this in mind as we study verses 4-12...
While students read quietly, have them each come up with one or two
questions that are answered in these verses. Have students stand and read
their question, another to give the answer. Maybe a small piece of candy for
asker and answerer. Repeat questions are good- repetition and to make all
are listening

Fill in the blank: Write on the board: "Joseph Smith introduced this
revelation as a ____________ (commandment) of God to _______ (Martin
Harris).
Have class refer to the section heading.
Now have them read verses 13-20 and have them mark in their scriptures the
word "command" every time they read it.
How many times in these verses is Martin commanded to repent?
What message can we find here for us?

Show a picture of Christ in Gethsemane
Why was Jesus Christ here? for whom?
How difficult was it.
Think of your most painful illness or accident. On a scale of 1-10; 10 being
the worst, where would you put your suffering?
Where would you put His suffering?

Read a few quotes from the general authorities about the atonement of our
Savior - have the students read them
(Jesus the Christ by Talmage page 613  "Christ's agony in the garden....from
Adam to the end of the world"
and Nov. Ensign, 1983 Ezra Taft Benson, page 6 "We may never
understand....His unselfish, infinite love for us"
and July Ensign 1992, Dallin H. Oaks page 70 "This obviously means that the
unrepentant....he hasn't repented."
Activity: write each of these words on a slip of paper and put it in a bowl:
peace; covet; vocally; debt; always
Have students take one.
Explain that the words are found in verses 21-41.
Have them find the word, tell which verse it is in, and explain what is
being taught in that verse.

Have a few students summarize the lesson with a principle and how it applies
to them today
