He is risen indeed! Last week it was Friday in the last week of the Savior's life, but today is Sunday! We get to learn all about Christ's resurrection as we talk about what the resurrection means for us, the walk to Emmaus, and believing in things we can't see.



On the road to Emmaus, what are some of the scriptures Christ might have mentioned that talk about Him?
  • · The Seed of the Woman, whose heel was bruised
  • · The blessing of Abraham to all nations
  • · The High Priest after the order of Melchizedek.
  • · The Lion of the Tribe of Judah.
  • · The voice from the burning bush.
  • · The Passover Lamb.
  • · The Prophet greater than Moses.
  • · The captain of the Lord’s army to Joshua.
  • · The ultimate Kinsman-Redeemer mentioned in Ruth.
  • · The son of David who was a King greater than David.
  • · The suffering Savior of Psalm 22.
  • · The Good Shepherd of Psalm 23.
  • · The wisdom of Proverbs and the Lover of the Song of Solomon.
  • · The Savior described in the prophets and the suffering Servant of Isaiah 53.
  • · The Princely Messiah of Daniel who would establish a kingdom that would never end.

This week we talk about the law of opposition, Adam and Eve in the Garden, Nephi's a poet, and the curse of the Lamanites. The Come Follow Me print manual is different from the online version of the manual for the section 2 Nephi 5:20-21 "What was the curse that came upon the Lamanites". I recommend that you read the online version as the most up to date commentary on this section.

Portrait of Rebekah

  I love Rebekah. I love her diligence and her closeness to the Lord. I love that when she had a problem, she knew exactly where to go- to the Lord. Her story is fairly simple. There's not a lot of extra historical text to add in, so I didn't feel like I had quite enough information for an episode. I did want to create a portrait of her though, so here it is! I'll be back next month with an episode about Rachel and Leah (and maybe I'll squeeze a little Rebekah in too). If you want some fun reading while you're waiting, check out the book Rebekah by Orson Scott Card! Click here to download to download a PDF of the artwork.

This week we dive into the "War Chapters" of the Book of Mormon. I wanted to do a scholarly reading and go into the different characters, the battles, the tactics, the strategies...but life had other plans.  This has been a difficult week anxiety-wise as I start to look at going back to school in the middle of a pandemic hotspot. It has made focusing and really "studying" my scriptures difficult. However I found that "feasting on the words of Christ" sometimes means not studying the culture, the word usage, and all the other scholarly information on the text we're reading, but instead it means taking the scriptures that mean something to you and etching them on your heart. Clinging to them in the middle of the war you're fighting. Using them as your umbrella in the storm. So that's what I did this week. I learned several lessons from Captain Moroni, but I distilled the concepts I'm focusing on into 3 P's. I will be: Prayerful, Peaceful
