Last Week

Sister Stevens taught for me last week while I was away for my first granddaughter's baby blessing. I thank her very much. I missed her lesson but she shared the handout with me and I will pass it on to you.

President Gordon B. Hinckley said in Ensign April 2005:

"No member of this church must ever forget the terrible price paid by our Redeemer, who gave His life that all men might live- The agony of Gethsemane, the bitter mocking of his trial, the vicious crown of thorns tearing at his flesh, the blood cry of the mob before Pilate, the lonely burden of the heavy walk along the way to Calvary, the terrifying pain as great nails pierced his hands and feet. We cannot forget it. We must never forget it for here our Savior, our Redeemer, the Son of God gave himself a vicarious sacrifice for each one of us."

What a powerful statement. We owe so much to our Savior for this great gift of His life that he gave for us.

Sister Stevens used the following scriptures. I urge each of us to study them and learn more about this great gift.

1. D&C 76:40-42

2. Genesis 3:15

3. Moses 5:5-8

4. Mosiah 18:19-20

5. 3 Nephi 11:1-17

6. D&C 19:16-18

7. Moroni 9:25

8. D&C 18:11
