Preparation:

- Have the video "His Sacred Name" ready to play for the family (less than 3 minutes)
FHE LESSON:
What is
coming up this weekend? (Easter!)
Why do we
celebrate Easter? (Christ atoned for our sins and died for us, then
rose on the 3rd day, so we can repent and live with Him
and Heavenly Father again after this life.)
Have
everyone get out their scriptures and give them the worksheet to look up the scriptures listed to learn more about Christ's suffering.
Watch the
video “His Sacred Name” on lds.org and give each person the
handout to color.
Share the
scripture we are “ponderizing” this week, Isaiah 53:3-5:
“He
is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and
acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces
from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
“Surely
he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet
we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
“But
he was wounded for
our transgressions, he
was bruised
for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon
him; and with his stripes we are healed.”
Focus
on the final verse. What does it mean “and with his stripes we
are healed”?
How
does that make you feel?
What
are some ways we can show our gratitude and love for all that our
Savior has done for us?
Encourage family members to ponderize Isaiah 53:3-5, especially vs 5, and to seek and carry out ways to show Heavenly Father and Jesus their gratitude for the atonement and resurrection.
End
with testimonies.
As
an activity, color Easter Eggs. Make a list of people (single
sisters and elderly in our ward) to share our eggs with and set aside some times to go visit them to give them their colored eggs.
