WEEK 47: SUMMARY
=================
Lesson Summary:

In Ether 6-11, we follow the journey of the Jaredites as they cross the ocean in barges, guided by the light of shining stones. Upon reaching the promised land, they establish a society under the leadership of various kings. However, the narrative quickly shifts to a cycle of prosperity, wickedness, and upheaval as they struggle with power, pride, and internal conflicts. The text highlights moral lessons on the consequences of rejecting the Lord's guidance and the recurring theme of repentance and redemption. Despite times of righteousness, the Jaredites often fall back into chaos, foreshadowing future trials for their civilization.

Ether 6:12 | What are tender mercies to you? When have you seen them? How did you recognize them? Did your mortal mind try to reconcile them? How did you get past those feelings and find divinity in them?

Ether 8:7-10 | How does Satan use good motives to do tempt us to do sinful things? How do we guard against this? How do the two great commandments help you know how to channel your emotions for good?

Ether 11:12-13 | Do you think this happens today? We know the work will roll forward but are there times when prophets withdraw? What causes a prophet’s heart to mourn? Can you mourn and maintain a sense of rest and optimism simultaneously?
