Have you ever wondered how it would feel to have the Savior, Jesus Christ, look into your eyes and smile or place His hands upon your head and bless you? How would His voice sound? What would He say to you? Would you want to stay with Him always and never ever leave? Jesus wants you to hear His voice and feel His spirit. He loves you and wants you to feel that love. He wants to bless you. He wants you to understand what things will bring you happiness and make it possible for you to live with Him and your Father in Heaven forever.
The Savior’s words are recorded in the scriptures. His teachings are there. As you search the scriptures to understand what you should know and what you should do, you will hear His voice. This “hearing” is often a feeling that comes into your mind and your heart. If you read the scriptures with faith, desiring to believe and seeking to understand, you do more than just read words.
- Why do you think we are asked to read the scriptures daily?
- What makes the scriptures different from other books?
- How can you gain a testimony of the scriptures?
Divide family into two teams. Give each team a copy of the scriptures listed, a copy of the standard works and a bag to put their “treasures” in. Each team looks up the first scripture and reads it carefully to discover what they need to find that will fit into their sack. After they find the first object, they read the second scripture and find that object, and so on. Each scripture will tell them what they need to find, except number ten, which has special instructions. The first team to collect all nine items and complete clue number ten wins.
1. Matthew 7:25
2. Psalm 102:11
3. Jeremiah 8:8
4. Doctrine and Covenants 45:37
5. Mark 10:38
6. Ezekiel 37:16–17
7. Matthew 10:30
8. Exodus 3:5
9. Moses 1:41
10. Mosiah 2:17–18
To finish the game do something this scripture is talking about. After both teams have finished, share what you did for number ten with the other team. ANSWERS: (1) rock, (2) grass, (3) pen, (4) leaves, (5) cup, (6) stick, (7) hairs, (8) shoes, (9) book, (10) service, love
