Job–Ecclesiastes
Visit “Studying the Scriptures” to help prepare yourself spiritually to learn.
Reflecting on and assessing your spiritual learning can help you draw closer to Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. This lesson can help you reflect on the goals you have set and the growth you have experienced during your recent study of the Old Testament.
Review the Scriptures
Many buildings have fire extinguishers available for emergencies. However, each fire extinguisher needs to be inspected regularly to make sure it is still useful.
Why is regularly examining the following things important? What could potentially happen if we don’t take the time to examine them?
-
Vehicles
-
Progress toward graduation from high school
-
Physical health (for example, eyes, ears, teeth, and general health)
It is also important to periodically examine your spiritual progress. How can it be helpful to notice the progress we are making, as well as adjustments we could make?
Take time to examine how your study of the Old Testament has helped you progress spiritually this year. As you examine your progress, you might ponder or write your answers to one or more of the following questions:
-
What have you learned about Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ that is important to you?
-
Are there specific scripture accounts or teachings that have impacted you? If so, how?
-
Are you happy with the progress you are making? What has led to it, or what could you do to help you get the results you seek?
Review the following study options. Complete one or more.
Option A
How is the Resurrection part of Heavenly Father’s plan?
Imagine someone you know asks you the following question:
-
Will we live again after we die?
In “Lesson 98: Job 14; 19,” you may have written a paragraph in response to Job’s question: “If a man die, shall he live again?” (Job 14:14). Review that paragraph in your notebook. Then read three or more of the following scriptures to help you think more about how you would answer that question:
-
1 Corinthians 15:20–22 (Paul explains Christ’s Resurrection)
-
Mosiah 16:7–8 (Abinadi helps the people of King Noah understand the effects of Christ’s Resurrection)
-
Alma 11:42–44 (Amulek explains resurrection to the people of Ammonihah)
-
Helaman 14:17 (Samuel the Lamanite teaches about resurrection)
-
Moroni 7:41 (Mormon teaches his people about resurrection)
Choose one of the following scenarios. In your notebook, record how you would explain the Resurrection and Jesus Christ’s role in it.
-
A classmate at school who is curious about what our church teaches about life after death
-
A friend at work who just learned that their sibling has a terminal illness
-
Young children in a Primary class
-
Speaking at the funeral of one of your grandparents
Option B
How strong is my desire to worship Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ?
As part of “Lesson 101: Introduction to Psalms, Part 2,” you may have started creating a video, poem, drawing, meme, or other expression of your thoughts and feelings about Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.
Take a moment to think about the experience you had creating this work. Invite the Holy Ghost to help you recall the feelings you expressed. When you are ready, answer the following questions in your notebook:
-
What have you learned or felt about Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ since you created this expression of worship?
-
What changes, if any, have you noticed in how you think or feel about Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ since you created this? How do you feel today?
-
Looking at your project, what would you add? What would you change?
