Opening Song: “I Lived in Heaven” (all verses); “I’m Trying to be Like Jesus”
Scripture: John 6:38, 40 When Jesus lived on earth, He taught: “I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me…And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”
Review the story/pictures from last week’s lesson about premortal life, you could use the following to explain more in detail:
Jesus Christ Became Our Chosen Leader and Savior
We needed a Savior to pay for our sins and teach us how to return to our Heavenly Father. Our Father said, “Whom shall I send?” Jesus Christ said, “Here am I, send me.”
Jesus, like Heavenly Father, wanted us to choose whether we would obey Heavenly Father’s commandments. Jesus said, “Father, they will be done, and the glory be thine forever.”
Satan also came saying, “Behold, here am I, send me, I will be thy son, and I will redeem all mankind, that one soul shall not be lost, and surely I will do it; wherefore give me thine honor.” Satan wanted to force us all to do his will. Under his plan, we would not be allowed to choose and he wanted all the honor for himself.
After hearing both sons speak, Heavenly Father said, “I will send the first.”
(The lesson next week is all about the freedom to choose, so we won’t discuss it here)
Discuss the following questions:
Who were the two people who wanted to be chosen to be our Savior? (Jesus Christ and Lucifer)
Who did Heavenly Father choose? (Jesus)
The War in Heaven
Because our Heavenly Father chose Jesus Christ to be our Savior, Satan became angry. There was a war in heaven. Many people chose to follow Satan. Satan along with his followers were sent away from the presence of God and out of heaven. They were not allowed to receive a body.
Because we are on earth and have a body, we know that we chose to follow Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father. We must continue to follow Jesus Christ here on earth. Only by following Him can we return to our heavenly home.
Who did we choose to follow in heaven? (Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father)
How do we know that we chose to follow them? (We are on earth and have a body)
What can we do now on earth to follow Jesus Christ? (Choose the right, be kind, be baptized, etc.)
