NEW TESTAMENT 2019

Come, Follow Me

with

By Faith

Reinforces this week’s “Come Follow Me” study: Hebrews 7-13
“An High Priest of Good Things to Come”

Scripture:

Hebrews 11:1

1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Lesson:

In these chapters, we are reminded that ancient prophets taught of Jesus Christ. The ordinances performed in the traveling temples, or tabernacles by the Israelites were symbolic of the atonement of Jesus Christ. The ordinances we perform in the church today also point us to Jesus Christ.

In Hebrews 11 it tells how the faith of the prophets from the time of Adam down to Jesus Christ brought about miracles. Noah had faith and built an ark to save his family from the flood. Abraham had so much faith that he was willing to sacrifice Isaac, and the Lord blessed him and his posterity. Moses had faith to leave the house of Pharaoh where he was raised and lead his people out of bondage, and the Red Sea was parted for him and his people. Do you know other people (in the scriptures, in your family, or in your community) who are examples of faith?

Quote:

“We read of the unchangeable Lord in the holy scriptures. In the Bible… the Old Testament prophets from Adam to Malachi are testifying of the divinity of the Lord Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father. Jesus Christ was the God of the Old Testament, and it was He who conversed with Abraham and Moses. It was He who inspired Isaiah and Jeremiah; it was He who foretold through those chosen men the happenings of the future, even to the latest day and hour.” President Spencer W. Kimball
