Insights Lesson Summary:

This week we head into Nephi’s second book and study some of the last words of Lehi. Days before his death, Lehi shares his hopes for his posterity and his crystal-clear testimony of the Plan of Salvation. During his teachings he’ll focus on the gift of moral agency and the purpose of opposition. He’ll also help us understand teach the pillars of the Plan by showing God’s fingerprints in the Creation, the Fall, and the redemption of men through the Atonement of Jesus Christ.

Questions to Consider from Week 6

• 1 Nephi 16:12 | Laman and Lemuel seem to keep one foot planted in Jerusalem while they wander in the wilderness. What pain do they experience by neglecting to live up to the light they’ve been given.
• 1 Nephi 17:18 | Is it possible that Nephi broke his bow on purpose? Could he, like Elijah, have hoped a famine would help his family remember God? If so, what else can you learn from the story?
• 1 Nephi 17:23-29 | Lehi repents of his murmuring and then the family sees new writing on the Liahona. Nephi speaks about the Lord using “small means” to accomplish “great things”. What do you think he’s referring to?
• 1 Nephi 19:12 | One of my favorite titles for Jesus Christ is “The God of Nature”. What does that title teach us? How is it more vivid in these chapters about animals, storms, timbers, and tides?
• 1 Nephi 22:17 | Isaiah’s writings promise the the righteous need not fear the last days. 1 John 4:18 teaches that perfect love casteth out fear. Do you see a connection between these verses? How will perfect love play a role in the last days?
