Book of Mormon [JACOB 1-4] Insights

“Be Reconciled unto God through the Atonement of Christ”

April 1 - April 7, 2024

WEEK 14: SUMMARY

=================

Lesson Summary:

This week, we’ll turn our attention to Jacob. He’ll pick the prophetic mantle from his incredible brother Nephi. Jacob’s people are beginning to sin in two key areas: they are lifted up in pride and attempting to justify sin regarding the law of chastity. While their particular sins are unique to their time, the root causes and remedies are applicable to our day. Jacob invites us to shake ourselves from sin and reconcile our will to God.

Questions to Consider:

1. Jacob 1:5-7, Do you think Jacob’s diligent labor could change the Nephites fate? Or is it sealed?

2. Jacob 1:10-11, Do you see physical protection and spiritual protection in the actions of our prophets today? What’s the equivalent to the sword of Laban in our day?

3. Jacob 2:6-9, How can a feeling be tender, chaste or delicate? Could these feelings relate to testimony too?

4. Jacob 3:1-2, When have you experienced an opportunity to find relief in your afflictions rather than escape from them?

5. Jacob 2:35, What does it mean to have a heart die? Can it be revived? Do the stories of hearts like Jairus’ daughter, Lazarus, and the widow’s son provide hope for those who have deep wounds?
