NT Sunday School Lesson 23 (JF): Luke 22:1-38; John 13-15
With this lesson we begin to read about the part of Christ’s life that is traditionally called “the Passion,” the time between the Last Supper and his death on the cross. The word “passion” and the word “passive” are related terms. Why is this part of Jesus’ life called the...
New Testament Lesson 23: As I Have Loved You, Love One Another
What a challenge and a blessing to be able to generate and then demonstrate charity for those around us–-charity, the pure love of Christ. INTRODUCTION: Nephi wrote of the Lord in his remarkable psalm of praise and awe, “He hath filled me with his love even unto the consuming of my flesh.”...
NT Sunday School Lesson 22 (JF): Matthew 25
Verses 1-13: The Parable of the Ten Virgins How does the parable relate to that given in Matthew 24:45-51? We know little about marriage ceremonies in Palestine during Jesus’ day. Indeed, we can assume that the customs varied from one place to another in Palestine, making it even more...
New Testament Lesson 22: Inherit the Kingdom Prepared for You
One day, the Lord will call a halt to misery, and put a final end to the ability of Lucifer to disrupt and disturb the affairs of men. But until that time, we are responsible to wipe away the tears, to ease the sorrow and the crying and the pain. INTRODUCTION: Please e-mail me with...
NT Sunday School Lesson 20 (JF): Matthew 21-23; John 12:1-8
Verses 1-7: The end of verse 3 could also be translated “and straightway he will return them.” Verse 5 puts two scriptures together, Isaiah 62:11 and Zechariah 9:9 (as they appear in the Greek rather than the Hebrew version of the Old Testament). What does “daughter of Sion” mean?...

1 Approach These represent the notes I made during my reading of the scriptural text for this lesson. It is not a lesson outline or a lesson plan but really notes about issues and questions that struck me as interesting during my reading. Consequently, the notes do not have a conclusion and very...
New Testament Lesson 20: Woe unto You, ... Hypocrites
If we profess to be Latter-day Saints and have an outward semblance of religion, while in reality our lives do not correspond with our professions, then we are hypocrites. INTRODUCTION: Years ago I held up two glasses of water and asked my seminary class to tell me how they were different. It...

New Testament Lesson 19: Thy Faith Hath Saved Thee
Christ wants us and all men to have faith in him. Every circumstance of the ministry of Christ was designed to invite people to have faith in him as the Savior and Redeemer of all mankind. INTRODUCTION: “Faith in Jesus Christ” is a term that often seems to be misunderstood in the kingdom....
NT Lesson 18 (JF): Luke 15, 17
As I learned from Bruce Jorgensen, it is important to read the parables of Luke 15 together. Consider the setting that Luke gives us in verses 1-2 and then imagine Jesus telling each of these parables in response to what happens in those verses: he hears the Pharisees and the scribes complaining...
New Testament Lesson 18: He Was Lost and Is Found
We must not find in the kindness—the mercy and grace—of the Savior a license to sin, but rather a longing to stay close to the love of Lord. INTRODUCTION: Have you ever lost something important? How did you feel when it was found? Have you ever lost a small child, or been lost yourself?...

New Testament Lesson 16: I Was Blind, Now I See
If we will see and testify as the man born blind, and if we will hear and follow as sheep of the Good Shepherd, what does the Savior promise to give to us? INTRODUCTION: Think of all the different kinds of miracles that the Savior performed during his recorded ministry. Which miracle do...
NT Sunday School Lesson 16 (JF): John 9-10
Verse 1: Chapter 8 ends with the phrase “passed by” and chapter 9 begins with those words. Did the events of chapters 9-10 happen as Jesus was leaving the temple precincts, or did they occur later? (See verse 14 for a clue.) Why is it important that the man has been blind since birth? As you...
