Lesson Posts

As we approach Easter, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the profound significance of Christ’s sacrifice and resurrection and teach our families of their significance. This week’s activities are designed to help kids of all ages deepen their understanding of the Easter story and its eternal implications. From interactive walks to creative crafts, there’s something for everyone to enjoy and learn from.

In these last chapters of 2 Nephi, we read the final testimony of a prophet of God. Nephi shares a lasting witness of Jesus Christ and offers a goodbye to both the people of his day and to us in modern times, saying that he will meet us again at the Second Coming of the Savior. We can heed the words of Nephi by teaching our children to “hearken unto these words and believe in Christ” (2 Nephi 33:10). 

Like his father Lehi, the prophet Nephi was gifted with extraordinary visions of God’s children. He was shown many things to help give him purpose as the leader of his people and to know what to write in record. He even saw the last days which we live in now, emphasizing that above all, “except ye shall keep the commandments of God ye shall all likewise perish” (2 Nephi 30:1). This week’s lesson will help your family come to see a little of what Nephi saw and understand our own purpose for living at a time near Christ’s Second Coming. 

Though we aren’t that far yet, Jesus Christ will one day proclaim to the Nephites that “great are the words of Isaiah” (3 Nephi 23″1). The prophets Nephi and Jacob already understood that, which is why so much of their writings in 2 Nephi are nearly a direct quote from the Old Testament. While reading these chapters with your family, see what stands out to you about Christ and the gathering of Israel. As with Nephi, the Spirit’s voice can help your family understand the writings of these ancient prophets and what they mean for you today.
