Prophets Knew About Christ
All the prophets have testified that Jesus is the Christ, the One anointed to come and save His people. The scriptures show that these early prophets knew that He would come and often had some special information about Him.
On small pieces of paper write the following scripture references:
Isaiah 9:6 [Isa. 9:6] (Isaiah prophesies that Jesus will be born.);
1 Ne. 10:4–8 (Lehi tells of the Messiah among the Jews and of John the Baptist.);
1 Ne. 11:13, 20–21, 27, 31, 33 (Nephi sees that Jesus will be born to a young woman from Nazareth, and His birth, ministry, and crucifixion.);
Mosiah 3:5–8 (King Benjamin learns from an angel about the Savior’s ministry and that His mother’s name will be Mary.);
Alma 7:9–10 (Alma tells that Christ would come soon, be born of Mary, and be born at [near] Jerusalem—Bethlehem is five miles from Jerusalem.);
Micah 5:2 (Micah pinpoints the spot of the Messiah’s birth as Bethlehem.);
Ps. 22:16, 18 (The wicked will pierce the hands and feet of
the Savior and cast lots for His clothing.);
Isa. 25:8 (Isaiah knows the Lord will be resurrected.);
Hel. 14:2–6 (Samuel the Lamanite prophesies of the coming of Christ to the Nephites in five years and tells of signs in the heavens.).
Have each class pick one or two references. Allow enough time for them to look up the reference, then report on what that prophet knew about Jesus. You might assemble some pictures of the stories for the children to use.
