Monday Devotional

The Books in the Old Testament (Children’s #114)
Scripture
3 Nephi 23:1–3, 2 Nephi 25:1–8, 1 Nephi 19:23
Discussion
- Isaiah is the most-quote prophet, even by the Savior, because he prophesied a lot of the Savior’s life and also the Second Coming.
- Isaiah can be difficult for us to understand because he uses a lot of symbols and metaphors with places and people that we don’t know.
- But the Savior and Nephi both spoke of how important it is for us to read the words of Isaiah.
- Here are some tips to help with Isaiah:
- Think about what the metaphors could mean.
- Ask “What did I learn about Christ?”
- Look for topics that apply to us in the last days
- Use footnotes, the Bible Dictionary, etc.
