Scripture Specs help me see my way to heaven
OBJECTIVE: Tell children about the standard works. The scriptures tell us about Jesus and about Heavenly Father’s plan of happiness. They help us learn how we can return to live with Heavenly Father and Jesus again someday.
The scriptures contain stories of people who obeyed Heavenly Father’s commandments.
Nephi said, “My soul delighteth in the scriptures, and my heart pondereth them” (2 Nephi 4:15).
CRAFT ACTIVITY (Scripture Specs):
1. Print the activity (sized for children and teens/adults).
2. Create a pair of glasses—Scriptures Specs—that they can put on to read the scriptures. Cut out the book-eye pieces and place colored cellophane there or leave them open. Punch holes on the sides and tie a string to it to tie around the child’s head.
3. As children/teens/adults wear the specs, read John 5:39 “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.”
Explain that “testify” means to tell and that the scriptures tell us about Jesus and Heavenly Father.
THOUGHT TREAT Open-Book Scripture wafer cookies. Display two frosting-filled wafer cookies next to each other glued together in the center with frosting. Open the scriptures and the cookie (in “V” shape), saying that this book should be opened each day to read about Jesus and His commandments (show the picture of Jesus).
