Assigned reading for class on Nov. 21: Mosiah 2
Learning Activity:
1. Read Mosiah 2:1–9, and look for answers to the following questions:
- Who was gathered together?
- Where did they gather?
- What was done so the large crowd could hear King Benjamin’s words.
President Howard W. Hunter: “Don’t be overly concerned with status. Do you recall the counsel of the Savior regarding those who seek the ‘chief seats’ or the ‘uppermost rooms’? ‘He that is greatest among you shall be your servant.’ (Matt. 23:6, 11.) It is important to be appreciated. But our focus should be on righteousness, not recognition; on service, not status” (“To the Women of the Church,” Ensign, Nov. 1992, 96).
3. What does this chapter teach us that relates to this quote from For the Strength of Youth?
“Some people knowingly break God’s commandments, planning to repent later, such as before they go to the temple or serve a mission. Such deliberate sin mocks the Savior’s Atonement” (For the Strength of Youth [booklet, 2011], 29).
4. Mosiah 2:17 is a doctrinal mastery verse. Make sure you read it, mark it, ponder it and make a plan to live it.
