PURPOSE: To strengthen each class member’s testimony of the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
Study Isaiah 50–53.
• What does Isaiah 53:2–5 tell us about the life of the Savior? Why can he understand our sorrows and our grief? (See Alma 7:11–13; Hebrews 2:16–18; 4:15.) How have you sensed that he understands your sorrows and grief? Why was the Savior willing to suffer the pain of being wounded, bruised, and scourged? (See 1 Nephi 19:9.)
• Isaiah prophesied about a number of events that were connected with the Atonement of the Savior. What do the following verses teach about the Savior’s love and his atoning sacrifice?
Isaiah 50:5–7 (see also Matthew 26:39; Philippians 2:8)
Isaiah 51:6 (see also Mosiah 16:9; Alma 34:10)
Isaiah 53:2–4 (see also Alma 7:11–13; Hebrews 2:16–18)
Isaiah 53:8–11 (see also Mosiah 15:10–13)
Conclusion
Review Mosiah 15:18, in which the prophet Abinadi describes the Savior as a messenger whose feet are beautiful upon the mountains. One reason his feet are beautiful is that they bear the prints of the nails, the tokens of his atoning love. The teachings of Isaiah have strengthened my love for the Savior and my desire to be worthy of the blessings of his atoning sacrifice. How has your testimony been strengthened?
