The Old Testament contains the earliest records of the prophets. Through their words, we learn of Jesus Christ’s role in creating the world and His purpose in doing so. We discover how faith in Christ, obedience, sacrifice, and love help us endure all things.
We can prepare our children to make covenants with God at baptism and in the temple through family study of the Old Testament. As we read of God’s covenant people and their relationship with Jehovah (Jesus Christ), we can help our children to know that He will always be there to lead and guide them through life’s difficulties and inevitably back into the presence of our Father in Heaven.

Hands-On Activity
Before starting your lesson, wrap a Bible like a gift. Begin your lesson by gathering your children and showing them the gift. Say, “God has given us a gift that we can use every day, and I have it here. Before we open it, everyone gets to guess what this gift is.” Allow your children to guess and praise each effort. Then, invite them to open the gift together and reveal what’s inside—it’s the Bible! Explain that this is a book of scriptures that Heavenly Father has given us. See the lesson for additional details.

Joseph’s forgiveness of his brothers did not come after they had paid restitution or offered an apology. He forgave them the moment he realized they had changed from their jealous ways when they offered themselves in place of Benjamin for punishment. How overwhelming it must have been for Joseph to see such love amongst his brothers. His forgiveness came with no strings attached: “be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves” (Genesis 45:5).
In every moment of Joseph’s story, God was with him. From his brothers’ betrayal and serving Potiphar, to a friend of Pharaoh and the savior of his family, at no time was Joseph forgotten by God. Through the good and the bad, he trusted that God knew who he was and had faith that everything would be all right.
Abraham’s posterity was promised many blessings of eternal significance, but that didn’t mean everything would be perfect. His grandsons, Jacob and Esau, fought over who should inherit their father’s birthright. Relatives lied to and tricked each other. The prophet’s very own family was dysfunctional, yet that didn’t stop those who were righteous from striving to follow Jesus Christ.
