The Priesthood Is Restored (Children’s #89)

Scripture

  • We know what will satisfy that spiritual hunger, and we have been blessed with the word of the Lord in abundance. 
  • Why is a famine a good comparison for living without the word of God?

Family History—I Am Doing It (Children’s #94)

Scripture

Obadiah 1:3-8, 21

Discussion

  • After Amos, God also declared through the prophet Obadiah that although the Kingdom of Judah had been destroyed, the Lord would gather and bless His people again.
  • The covenant people had strayed from the Lord, both Amos and Obadiah testified, but they would not be cast off forever.
  • President Gordon B. Hinckley gave one possible interpretation of the phrase “saviours on mount Zion,” connecting the phrase to temple and family history work: “[In the temple] we literally become saviors on Mount Zion. What does this mean? Just as our Redeemer gave His life as a vicarious sacrifice for all men, and in so doing became our Savior, even so we, in a small measure, when we engage in proxy work in the temple, become as saviors to those on the other side who have no means of advancing unless something is done in their behalf by those on earth.”
  • What does this quote mean? What can we do now to help in this work?
