“We Lived after the Manner of Happiness”

February 19 – February 25

WEEK 08: SUMMARY

=================

Lesson Summary:

This week, we’ll head into Jacob’s powerful sermon to the Nephites. He’ll use the words of Isaiah to help his people remember their connection to the Abrahamic covenant. Next, he’ll add his own understandings and revelation to help them understand the need for the Fall and the Infinite Atonement of Jesus Christ to redeem mankind from its effects. Finally he’ll encourage us to embrace the divinity within us by setting down pride and anything else that limits our ability to enter at the strait and narrow gate.

Week 8 Questions

2 Nephi 6:6 | Why does this metaphor of carrying sons and daughters in our arms fit so beautifully for missionary work? When have you seen someone carried on shoulders?

2 Nephi 6:12-13 | President Nelson said, “A loving but grieving Father scattered Israel far and wide, but He promised that one day scattered Israel would be gathered back into the fold. What experiences in your life help you relate to the mixture of love and grief Heavenly Father experienced?

2 Nephi 8:1-2 | What do you think Isaiah is talking about when he tells us to look unto the rock from whence we are hewn? What is the rock? Who is doing the hewing? What is the end result?

2 Nephi 9:18 | President Eyring said, “trials are necessary for us to be shaped and made fit to receive that happiness that comes as we qualify for the greatest of all the gifts of God.” How does adversity shape us so we can receive a fulness of joy?

2 Nephi 9:50 | Why does it say “buy milk and wine” and not “come enjoy milk and wine”? What other nourishment is he offering with this word choice?
