Welcome back to this weeks Come Follow Me Help. My name is Spencer Charles also known as Latterdayhelp. Let’s start!
Suggestion: when using The Come Follow Me book, use this page for my commentary and overview. You will see a quote from the Come Follow Me and my comments on it. First, look at the quote and when it appears in the book, read my commentary below the quote. Repeat until you finish the Come Follow Me for this week. Enjoy!!!
“Multiple witnesses testified that they saw angels, inside the temple and even on the roof, during and after the dedication. It really did seem that “the armies of heaven” had come to “sing and [to] shout” with the Latter-day Saints (“The Spirit of God,” Hymns, no. 2).”
What a wonderful experience it would be to see those angles! This further proves this is Christ’s church because angels attended the event!
“In some ways, the Kirtland Temple was different from temples we know today. There were no altars and no baptismal font, and ordinances like baptism for the dead and sealing had not yet been restored. But the blessings described in section 109, the dedicatory prayer for the Kirtland Temple, are the blessings we receive in the Lord’s house today. Review the following verses to find some of these blessings. While reading about them, ponder why they are important to you and your family.”
Just a heads up the dedication prayer is very long but worth it to read to see the blessings we will receive by going to the temple. When you can please attend the temple as often as possible to receive these blessings!
“If you or your family have not yet been to the temple, you could visit temples.ChurchofJesusChrist.org to help prepare yourselves to go.”
This is a nice touch the church added. I would recommend doing this.
“Doctrine and Covenants 110.As your family members read section 110 and look at the picture at the end of this outline, invite them to imagine how they would feel if they had been present with Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery in the Kirtland Temple. Give your family an opportunity to share how they feel about the Savior.”
Another good idea. It would be cool to actually be there in person with these two men! Please imagine yourself being there with them!
