The Lord Labors with Us

Come Follow Me Lessons & Activities for Kids

Week 13 | March 16 - March 22

Jacob chapter 5 is the longest chapter in The Book of Mormon. It is the allegory of the Olive Tree. We chose to focus the main lesson on this chapter. Start by discussing what allegory means. We have provided a definition of allegory that you can display. 

We recommend listening to Jacob 5 on audio while your family follows along, stopping as you need to for your children to discuss the concepts. The children can color, cut, and paste their vineyard scene as they listen. Have them glue the branches onto the trees each time they hear about a branch being trimmed or grafted in. Take your time making it through this story.

After you finish listening to chapter 5, use the Olive Tree timeline to review what you learned. You can also use the visual aid in the Come Follow Me for Individuals and Families manual on page 49 to help you understand the allegory.

We have a couple of fun missionary activities you can do as bonus ideas throughout the week.  Play with the missionary paper dolls as you discuss what a missionary is and how they can serve the Lord.

Use the missionary tags for each child to enact being a missionary. Consider giving them a mission call and assigning them a mission. Discuss how we can be missionaries now.

Jacob 6:4-5 teaches that Heavenly Father loves us and will forgive us. Make a necklace or badge out of the hearts provided as a reminder that we are loved. Use the song chart to learn and sing the song “My Heavenly Father Loves Me.”

Where “Much Is Given Much Is Required”

The Savior Jesus Christ requires much of His people. As shown throughout scripture, Christ doesn’t ask only a tiny bit of our time. He wants our entire heart to be in His work. From our efforts, the Lord brings about great blessings for our brothers and sisters. For example, doing family history and temple work blesses families that lived before us. Sharing the gospel now can bless generations to come. Even our own families are the result of blessings promised to those who committed to the work.

“I Will Lead You Along”

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is God’s kingdom on the earth, but it didn’t just appear out of nowhere. As the Church grew from a few members to millions, God gave wisdom to men and women “for a permanent and everlasting establishment and order unto my church… to the salvation of man, and to the glory of your Father who is in heaven” (Doctrine and Covenants 78:4). Just as with the early saints, we are led along by His hand in bringing the gospel to the world. We can always trust in Him to guide us in all things.
