“Courage to Show Integrity”
SEARCH & PONDER – 3 Nephi 11:10-11
JESUS CHRIST, OUR GREATEST EXAMPLE OF COURAGE & INTEGRITY
Jesus Christ did show himself unto the people of Nephi, as the multitude were gathered together in the land Bountiful, and did minister unto them; and on this wise did he show himself unto them.
BEGINNING WITH CHAPTER 11
The Father testifies of His Beloved Son—Christ appears and proclaims His Atonement
vs. 10-11
Behold, I am Jesus Christ, whom the prophets testified shall come into the world.
And behold, I am the light and the life of the world; and I have drunk out of that bitter cup which the Father hath given me, and have glorified the Father in taking upon me the sins of the world, in the which I have suffered the will of the Father in all things from the beginning.
I Studied the Following Individuals Who Showed Courage. Here Are Ways Each Has Shown Integrity:
• Joseph in Egypt (Genesis 39)
• Esther (book of Esther)
• Job (Job 2:3; 27:3-6)
• Daniel (Daniel 3 and 6)
• Apostle Paul (Acts 26)
• Hyrum Smith (D&C 124:15)
• Joseph Smith (Joseph Smith–History: 1:21-25)
A Time When I Had Courage to Show Integrity. Especially When it Was Not Easy or Popular (I shared this experience in a testimony meeting, lesson, or with a parent or leader.)
Nourishing and Bearing Your Testimony By Elder Gary E. Stevenson Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles By Elder Gary E. Stevenson Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
“You bear your testimony when you share spiritual feelings with others. As a member of the Church, you have opportunities to bear your spoken testimony in formal Church meetings or in less formal, one-on-one conversations with family, friends, and others.
Another way you share your testimony is through righteous behavior. Your testimony in Jesus Christ isn’t just what you say—it’s who you are.
Each time you bear vocal witness or demonstrate through your actions your commitment to follow Jesus Christ, you invite others to “come unto Christ.”4
Members of the Church stand as witnesses of God at all times, in all things, and in all places.”
