Daily Reading Question


In what ways can gospel covenants strengthen us? How have your covenants influenced your life?

Covenants

  1. Interesting question about covenants to go with the reading. Maybe the grafting can be related to making covenants? And as we honor those covenants we overcome the bad. Until we become "equal in strength" with God.

  2. I like how the seminary manual explained it, "Read Jacob 5:59 aloud. Ask the class to listen for what the master of the vineyard hoped these actions would do for the roots of the trees.
    What did the master hope would happen to the roots? (He wanted them to “take strength.”)
    Remind students that at this time, all the trees were bringing forth bad fruit, representing the entire world in a state of apostasy. Explain that as the roots would take strength, the branches throughout the vineyard would change “that the good may overcome the evil” (Jacob 5:59).
    Make sure students understand that these verses teach that the influence of gospel covenants allows Heavenly Father’s children to overcome sin and bring forth righteousness."
