“He Did Expound All Things Unto Them”
This lesson illustrates how the Savior used the scriptures to teach valuable truths. As we search, ponder, and pray about the scriptures, we will have a greater understanding of these truths.
Children’s Songbook, Hymn #109 – Search, Ponder, and Pray
1. I love to read the holy scriptures,
And, ev’ry time I do,
I feel the Spirit start to grow within my heart–
A testimony that they’re true.
2. So, prayerfully I’ll read the scriptures
Each day my whole life through.
I’ll come to understand.
I’ll heed the Lord’s command
And live as he would have me do.
Chorus
Search, ponder, and pray
Are the things that I must do.
The Spirit will guide, and, deep inside,
I’ll know the scriptures are true.
Summary - 3 Nephi 22–26:
- In the last days, Zion and her stakes shall be established, and Israel shall be gathered in mercy and tenderness. They shall triumph (Compare Isaiah 54).
- Jesus approves the words of Isaiah. He commands the people to search the words of the prophets. The words of Samuel the Lamanite concerning the resurrection are added to their records.
- The Lord’s messenger shall prepare the way for the Second Coming. Christ shall sit in judgment. Israel is commanded to pay tithes and offerings. A book of remembrance is kept (Compare Malachi 3).
- At the Second Coming the proud and wicked shall be burned as stubble. Elijah shall return before that great and dreadful day (Compare Malachi 4).
- Jesus expounds all things from the beginning to the end. Babes and children utter marvelous things which cannot be written. Those of the Church of Christ have all things in common among them [AD 34].
