Not all of the moments and sayings in the life of Jesus can we read as a sequence of events. We have stories and sayings that we canât always connect. But in todayâs study we can see things in sequence, which adds meaning to the story. This includes the feeding of the 5,000, the rescue of the apostles while they are struggling against great winds on the Sea of Galilee, and the Bread of Life speech which motivated many of Jesusâs followers to desert Him.

âBlessed Are Yeâ Matthew 5; Luke 6 – Come Follow Me 2023 Podcast 8
The Sermon on the Mount was called by President Joseph Fielding Smith, âthe greatest sermon that was ever preached so far as we know.â And it was so important that it was given, with some changes, again to the people in the Book of Mormon when the Savior arrived.

Come, Follow Me for Sunday School: âBlessed Are Yeâ, Matthew 5; Luke 6

âYe Must Be Born Againâ John 2-4 – Come Follow Me 2023 Podcast 7
Johnâs gospel is so beautifully structured to reveal eternal truths to his audience who are Church members. One story reinforces and points back or forward to the next. For instance, both the wedding at Cana and the visit to Nicodemus at night are teaching the same thingâan idea the casual reader might miss.
Come, Follow Me for Sunday School: Matthew 4; Luke 4-5
After being filled with the Holy Ghost at His baptism, the Lord set out into the desert for a forty-day fast in order to prepare for His ministry. Here He tasted much of the pain of living in a world that is lonely and bleakâsuch a change from the premortal glory He had enjoyed. The forty days symbolized Israelâs forty-year sojourn in the wilderness, which in turn represents the life of each one of us here in mortality.
