Doctrine and Covenants 93

Doctrine and Covenants 93

Overview

In Doctrine and Covenants 93, the Savior revealed important truths about Himself with the intent of helping us “know how to worship, and know [who we] worship” (verse 19). We learn that we can receive a fulness of light and truth that come from Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ as we keep the commandments.

Help learners deepen their appreciation and love for Jesus Christ. As students learn about Jesus Christ, help them go beyond what He said and did and learn who He is. One way to do this is to focus on His attributes and characteristics. For more on how to do this, see the section “Teach about the Titles, Roles, and Attributes of Jesus Christ” in Teaching in the Savior’s Way. You can also see an example of how to do this in this week’s lesson titled “Doctrine and Covenants 93:1–22.”
