Mosiah: Following the Counsel of His Father


Example 1: Mosiah 1:10, also Mosiah 2:1
  • In Mosiah 1:10, we see see a young man follow the counsel of his father to make a proclamation among his people.
Example 2: Mosiah 1:2-3
  • In Mosiah 1:2-3, a father tries to provide the best life he can for his sons by offering them educational opportunities and teaching them their family history.
Example 3: Mosiah 2:5
  • In Mosiah 2:5, families gathered together to camp out for a big event.
Example 4: Mosiah 2:30
  • In Mosiah 2:30, a man experienced stage fright while giving a big speech in front of many people. 
Relation to other students' posts:

Hailey's post about her mother could be likened to Mosiah following his father's counsel. She might share a story about doing something her mother asked her to and there could be a relation there; faith to follow what her mother asked her to do even if she didn't understand it in the moment. 

Josh's post about becoming a leader suddenly and having all of that responsibility is similar to the position Mosiah found himself in when his father died.

Andrew's post about feeling strong emotions can be related to King Benjamin's people's experiences while he was delivering his sermon.

  1. Hearing how you generalize what is happening in Mosiahs life gives me a different view of how that relates to my life. The concept of families gathered for a big event is exactly what our society does today. Maybe not for religious functions as often as we could but other things we most definitely gather as families for.

  2. I liked seeing how you showed that King Benjamin was a good father who tried to provide the best life he could for his children by providing them with a good education. I think many people can relate to this better than relating to just reading the Book of Mormon account. Of course, people could possibly learn this themselves by reading the Book of Mormon, but for those who are unlikely to read the Book of Mormon, this would be a good incentive to actually read it.
