This week we are studying the second coming of Jesus Christ! We are reading Joseph Smith—Matthew 1; Matthew 24–25; Mark 12–13; Luke 21 “The Son of Man Shall Come” What is Joseph Smith—Matthew?

Joseph Smith—Matthew, located in the Pearl of Great Price, is the Joseph Smith Translation of the last verse of Matthew 23 and all of Matthew 24. Joseph Smith’s inspired revisions restore precious truths that had been lost. Verses 12–21 refer to the destruction of Jerusalem anciently; verses 21–55 contain prophecies about the last days. This week the children will come away knowing: Jesus wants me to serve others. We serve Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ by serving people around us. I am responsible for my own conversion to Jesus Christ.

The parable of the ten virgins for kids teaches that we cannot borrow our conversion to the Savior from others. They will also learn the parable of the sheep and goats for kids. We also discuss that at the Final Judgment, we will give the Lord an account of our lives. This is a Come Follow me podcast for children. We are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and we create this podcast for primary aged children (2-12) following along with the church’s Come Follow Me Manual. This is a New Testament Bible Study podcast for children. If your children would like to be guests on our podcast email us at [email protected] and we will send you an assignment for a future week.
