January Week 2

How Did the Savior Show Love for Those He Served?

Share Experiences

Presidency member, group leader, or an assistant (5–10 minutes)

As disciples of Jesus Christ and priesthood holders, we can strengthen each other by sharing how the gospel has blessed us and our families during the week. Sharing these experiences is one way to invite the Spirit into our meetings. For example, when have we or someone we know done the following? How did we feel? What did we learn?

  • Participated in God’s work

  • Sought the Lord’s help in strengthening family members

  • Served someone in need

  • Experienced the power of the priesthood

  • Acted on what we have learned in quorum meetings

  • Felt God’s love

My Experiences

Learn Together

Adviser or quorum member (20–25 minutes)

Help quorum members learn together by using the following suggestions, ideas from this week’s study outline in Come, Follow Me for individuals and families, or your own ideas:

  • What can quorum members share from their personal or family study of charity in Come, Follow Me for individuals and families?

  • The Savior is our example of serving others with love. What images of Christ from the Gospel Art Book (2009) inspire us to serve others as He did? Quorum members could study these images and the related scripture passages at the front of the book. What do we learn from these scripture passages about how the Savior showed love to those He served, and how can we do the same?

  • As quorum members read Luke 7:11–15; 23:33–34; John 13:4–10; and 3 Nephi 17:6–25, either silently or as a group, what words or phrases do they find that illustrate the Savior’s love for others? How can we develop Christlike love? Quorum members could also share examples of people who demonstrate this type of love.

  • The video “Christlike Attributes” (LDS.org) illustrates characteristics of the Savior. Quorum members could watch the video and share their feelings about Him. Who do they know who exemplifies Christlike attributes? How could developing these attributes help us become better priesthood holders?

  • As quorum members read, watch, or listen to all or part of Elder Dallin H. Oaks’s talk “Loving Others and Living with Differences” (Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2014, 25–28), what do they learn about loving those who are different from them? How can we apply these teachings as a quorum?

My Impressions

Plan to Act

Presidency member, group leader, or an assistant (5 minutes)

Quorum members can plan how to act on impressions by discussing questions like those below. Tell them that they will have time to share their experiences in next week’s quorum meeting.

  • How can we apply what we have learned today in our lives and in our priesthood assignments?

  • What can we do as a quorum to serve with love as Christ did?

  • What is the Spirit teaching us to do as a result of our experience today?
