Using the April 2001 Liahona

Are you looking for a story or quotation for a talk, class, family home evening lesson, or seminary devotional? You might find some helpful ideas in this issue of the Liahona. (The numbers refer to pages in this issue. F=The Friend.)

“Special Witnesses of Christ”: Discussion Ideas

• “Special Witnesses of Christ: Premortal Ministry,” Elder Neal A. Maxwell, page 4: Under the Father’s direction, Jesus Christ created worlds without number, yet He notices the fall of every sparrow (see Matt. 10:29). Discuss what it means to realize that the Lord of the universe knows your name and cares about you enough to die for you.

• “Special Witnesses of Christ: Mortal Ministry,” Elder L. Tom Perry, page 9: We honor the Savior by following His example. Read Elder Perry’s story about rebuilding Christian churches in Japan. Discuss specific ways you can serve others in a Christlike manner.

• “Special Witnesses of Christ: Postmortal Ministry,” President Gordon B. Hinckley, page 19: President Hinckley bears his prophetic witness from the Sacred Grove. Relate the story of the First Vision. Bear your testimony of the difference the First Vision has made in your life.
