New Testament Lesson 17: "What Shall I Do That I May Inherit Eternal Life?"

By Ted L. Gibbons

INTRODUCTION: The scriptures speak clearly to us about the dangers of wealth. So many of the apostasies chronicled in the pages of the standard works are related to a longing for filthy lucre. Paul was probably right when he said that the "love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows" (1 Timothy 6:10). The danger of this love of loot is a theme often repeated in the pages of the New Testament. In this lesson we will review some of those divine warnings and moral tragedies recorded to serve as admonitions to the faithful of all ages that we should focus our energy on the things that matter most: Jesus said, "let the solemnities of eternity rest upon your minds." (D&C 43:34)

3 Ways Eve Is a Type of Christ (+ the Special Title Reserved Only for Eve and the Lord)

By Jay A. Parry, Donald W. Parry

A great number of righteous men and women from the Old Testament and Book of Mormon, including prophets, priests, kings, and others, served as types and shadows of Jesus Christ. Their personal purity and righteousness, as well as events in their lives, foreshadowed Jesus’ righteousness and his works. The parallels between these individuals and Christ are so striking that these persons “were types and shadows of our Lord’s coming; they were living, walking, breathing Messianic prophecies.”1 Elder Jeffrey R. Holland wrote: “Jehovah used an abundance of archetypes and symbols. Indeed, these have always been a conspicuous characteristic of the Lord’s instruction to his children. Examples of those figures—especially prefigurations of Christ—are present throughout the pre-Messianic record. . . .
