Teachings of Howard W. Hunter Lesson 21: "Faith and Testimony"

By Kelly Merrill

The gospel of Christ is learned on at least two levels. First, there is the intellectual learning. This includes what we learn from books and from conversations with others. Most of us live for years on this level. Second, there is the spiritual awakening. When we begin to yearn for better understanding, and we begin to apply the principles of faith, this is when the Spirit enters the picture, and we begin to see things in a whole new light.

21: "A Faithful, a Just, and a Wise Steward" (Doctrine and Covenants 51–57)

Throwing an egg at your sibling may seem like an extreme reaction, but at one point or another, a heated argument may have caused you to do something you wouldn't normally do. Whether it was a friend or a relative, feelings were no doubt hurt in the process. But in Doctrine and Covenants 51–57, the Lord teaches us how important relationships are—how we should seek to help those around us rather than tear them down. As we study these chapters we'll find that if we can do this, the Lord promises us something special in return.

11: “These Twelve Jesus Sent Forth” (Matthew 9-10, Mark 5, Luke 9)

In a burst of eagerness to help clean up, a young girl noticed that there were two jugs of milk in the fridge, but one of them was expired. Determining that the best thing to do was consolidate, she poured the remaining expired milk into the good jug, much to her mother’s chagrin. A lesson from that story might just come into play in this week’s lesson in Matthew 9–10, Mark 5, and Luke 9 as we study Christ’s teaching about old and new wine bottles and the special mission of His chosen Apostles.
