Lesson Title: "Exaltation"
OTHER RESOURCES:
PREPARATION:
- Prepare two posters. On one poster, write Immortality is the resurrection of the body of flesh and bones to unending life. It is a free gift to everyone on earth and is a result of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
On the other poster, write Exaltation is eternal life, the kind of life God lives. It consists of the continuation of the family unit in eternity. Those who obtain it must be obedient to God’s commandments. They gain an inheritance in the highest of three heavens within the celestial kingdom.
- Before class draw the illustration found in the book on the chalkboard.
- Assign young women to present any scriptures, stories, or quotations you wish.
ATTENTION GETTER:
Share the story
"Don't go Overboard" by Russell M. Nelson, New Era, Mar 1998.
LESSON:
Lesson 29 at lds.org
CONCLUSION:
Scripture and discussion
Have a young woman read 1 Corinthians 2:9 .
- What does this verse say about the things that are prepared for those who love the Lord and keep his commandments? (We cannot even imagine how glorious they will be.)
Emphasize that exaltation is a tremendous blessing for those who are willing to receive it-greater than anyone can imagine.
Assure the young women that if they live the commandments, keep their covenants, and love their fellowmen, they can achieve exaltation, the greatest gift of a loving Heavenly Father. You may want to bear your testimony.
Copy this handout on white cardstock, cut apart and color one for each young woman.
