Week 2 : Matthew 1; Luke 1 “Be It unto Me according to Thy Word”
4 Lesson/Activities
Come, Follow Me - For Individuals and Families
Lesson #1:
Talk about the two impossible miracles:
Mary to be pregnant with Jesus Christ
Elisabeth, a barren old woman, pregnant with John the Baptist
*We can remember there miraculous experiences when we face something that is impossible
Activity #1:
Go through the gospel art library - What other stories from the scriptures did God do seemingly impossible things? (we kept throwing pictures up on our apple tv)
What stories from your own lives could they share in which God did seemingly impossible things?
Link to pictures:
***Also in your prayers this week, make an extra effort to thank Heavenly Father for all your many impossible blessings
Lesson #2: Genealogy of Jesus
Matthew 1:1-17 - explain that it traces His royal lineage through Joseph back to King David. IF ROME WAS NOT IN CHARGE, JOSEPH WOULD BE KING. Read Jeremiah 23:5-6 - prophesied that the Messiah would come through the lineage of David
Activity #2: Make your own family tree
Lesson #3:
Who were Matthew and Luke?
Talk about who wrote these bible books as well as who wrote the different book of mormon books (various authors, collected by Mormon/Moroni) and the old testament (Moses and various authors).
Talk about how Matthew and Luke were completely different individuals to share their view of the story of Jesus Christ
Activity #3:
Have one kid dress up as Matthew and one kid dress up Luke. Have them pretend (do a short minute play) to be the individuals
Lesson #4: God's blessings come in His own time
Go over the story of Elisabeth and Zacharias. They wanted a kid their whole life and they were very righteous, but God needed John the Baptist to be born in His own time for His own purpose (to baptize Jesus Christ, he had to be the right age). Their story can be a reminder that God has not forgotten you. How can we remain faithful while waiting for a blessing?
Activity #4:
(if possible watch "John the Baptist" Animated Stories from the New Testament)
Draw your own picture of John the Baptist baptizing Jesus Christ or color this
Coloring John the Baptist page
