[Teachldsseminary] ...asking the right questions...

[Cristine Holt]

I don't mean for this to be off-topic, but Sister Johnson's response to the
discussion was a great illustration of the types of questions we can propose
to our students that make them think and look inward and, in short, apply
the scriptures to themselves. As a seminary supervisor, these questions are
a great illustration that I hope I can utilize in an inservice meeting some
day. I want to be more than just "going through the motion" of teaching.
Sister Johnson reminded me how I can dig deeper in my lessons. Thank you,
Sister Johnson!

Wow - I'm a little slow, but this brought to mind another way to look at
the 
reason he was so upset with the money changers and how they were treating  
this sacred ordinance.  I appreciate your thoughts about Him knowing He
would 
be the sacrifice, and the people going through the motion.  Was He  thinking

about that when he saw how the money changers were dealing with  everyone?
Do 
we go through the motions, not only when taking the Sacrament  but also our 
attendance in the temple.  What sacrifice do we bring?   Is it one we bring
with 
us in humility?  Or have we easily procured it  without thought?  Do we
bring 
one at all?
 
Since studying the Book of Mormon the last time in Seminary I have focused  
on Christ among the Nephites during the Sacrament portion of our service.   
What would it have been like to be one of the 2500 that He blessed and spoke
to  
individually?  How long would I have had to wait in line for my turn?   What

would I say to Him when it was finally my alone time with Him?  What
blessing 
would He feel I needed most?  How would I feel to actually touch  His hands 
and feet?  What questions would I ask?  What knowledge would  I take away
from 
that encounter?  EVERYTHING is about the Atonement.   If our students can
have 
their testimony in their hearts, not just on their lips  ~ they will, as I 
hope we are, make choices that honor that testimony, trust and  faith
they/we 
have for our Savior.
