Day 274

• Principle: Even eyewitnesses need a testimony through the Holy Ghost

• Book of Mormon Reading: Helaman 13:21-13:39

  • Verse 29 talks about blind guides.  What is an example of a blind guide today?  How does the Holy Ghost help you filter out blind guides?

• It’s easy to say, show me a sign and I will believe.  However belief does not come from seeing.  Think Laman and Lemuel in the Book of Mormon, they saw and angel but still didn’t believe.   Anna was an eye witness but she still needed a personal confirmation through the Holy Ghost.  

• Study the following scriptures and talk about Anna and Elizabeth

  • Luke 1; 2:21–38.

  • Dallin H. Oaks, “Witnesses of Christ,” Ensign, Nov. 1990, 29–32.

• Additional Study:

  • Boyd K. Packer, “The Witness”, April 2014

  • This Is My Beloved Son, Children’s Songbook No. 76

  • The Lord Is My Light, Hymns No. 89
