Question 5

5 / 5 pts

In one paragraph (75–150 words), explain what you learned from the readings that increases your understanding and appreciation of the Savior’s divine birth.

Your Answer:

I learned that Jesus Christ must love us so much he was willing to be born into our world and go through trials like us. More so that he gave his life for us that we may live with him again in Heaven. I felt that during my reading, I realized that because he was involved with the creation of us, he felt it only right to come down into the world and provide us the right way to return. His birth also saved a lot of faithful people's lives that waited with Nephi for his birth.

Question 6

5 / 5 pts

In one paragraph (75–150 words), describe what you learned from your readings that increases your understanding of the temptations of the Savior and His experience in the wilderness.

Your Answer:

The Savior was able to withstand the temptations that Satan was enticing him with. Through his examples in the wilderness, he understood that regardless of what Satan offered, God's promises and blessing will be much greater than anything Satan could ever offer him. He understood the laws that God gave, and that being the creator of everything, Satan had no right to promise Jesus anything that did not belong to him (Satan).
