HIGHLIGHTS OF SUNDAY'S LESSON - 

R.S. Lesson Notes from Teachings of Presidents of the Church, Joseph F. Smith

Aug. 10^th, Ch. 17 – Sealing Power and Temple Blessings, taught by Mary Jones

Key – After this lesson think about what you are going to do, how has it changed your life?

The main purpose of Temple work is uniting families. “Before offering the dedicatory prayer in the Ogden Utah Temple, he said, “May I remind you that when we dedicate a house to the Lord, what we really do is dedicate ourselves to the Lord’s service, with a covenant that we shall use the house in the way he intends that it shall be used.”

“Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet, before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: “And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite earth with a curse.”

“Behold, I will reveal unto you the Priesthood, by the hand of Elijah the prophet, before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.  And he shall plant in the hearts of the children the promises made to the fathers, and the hearts of the children shall turn to their fathers.  If it were not so, the whole earth would be utterly wasted at his coming.”

Temple work is the hope of the dead and the safety of the living.

“It is by virtue of this authority that ordinances are performed in the temples for both the living and the dead.” We must be willing to repent.

“To prepare for salvation in its fullest, we must receive temple ordinances through the sealing power.  The Lord has given unto us privileges and blessings, and the opportunity of entering into covenants, accepting ordinances that pertain to our salvation beyond what is preached in the world, beyond the principles of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, repentance from sin and baptism for the remission of sins and the laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost; and these principles and covenants are received nowhere else but in the temple of God.

“Temple work is so interwoven with the plan of salvation, that one cannot exist without the other.  In other words, there can be no salvation where there are no temple ordinances peculiarly belonging to the Temple.”

Pray and you will be led to where to do family history work.

“I have heard it said many times by those who oppose this work that it is impossible for one person to stand vicariously for another.  Those who express themselves in the way overlook the fact that the entire work of salvation is a vicarious work, Jesus Christ standing as the propitiator, redeeming us from death, for which we were not responsible, also redeeming us from the responsibility of our own sins, on condition of our repentance and acceptance of the gospel.  He has done this on a grand infinite scale and the same principle he has delegated authority to the members of his Church to act for the dead who are helpless to perform the saving ordinances for themselves.”

Many stories and comments were shared from the sisters.
