COME, FOLLOW ME MOMS March 30–April 5 “He Will Swallow Up Death in Victory” Easter Lesson | Scripture Study for LDS Moms INTRO Hey mamas, welcome back to another week of Come Follow Me Moms… This week is Easter AND General Conference. We get a double whammy. How special is that? I just love when Conference and Easter land on the same Sunday. It’s so fun getting to celebrate Easter with our kids and listen to the prophet at the same time. Yes, it may feel chaotic… but it’s our kind of chaos. And it’s beautiful. I used to get so frustrated when my littles wouldn’t sit still for hours of conference. I thought it had to look a certain way. But I’ve learned… if you can’t beat them, join them. Now we keep it simple. The kids pick out a Lego set to work on We have a little candy station with words they can listen for If they wander, it’s okay Playdough for the littles Coloring, puzzles, snacks We are teaching them where they are at. And guess what I can actually enjoy conference now too ✨ JESUS CHRIST IS THE CENTER So let’s talk about this week. Holy Week. And I want to start with this truth: 👉 Jesus Christ is the center of everything Not just church Not just scripture Not just Easter Sunday Everything Your life Your motherhood Your healing Your future The scriptures teach us that His life is central to all human history. Meaning… 👉 Every single person who has ever lived or ever will live is connected to Him Before Jesus came People looked forward to Him After Jesus came We look back to Him 👉 But we are all connected through Him 📖 Jacob 4:4 Ancient prophets believed in Him Trusted Him Had hope in Him 🫶 THEY WERE LOOKING FOR HIM Mamas… Sometimes we think the Old Testament is just stories. But it’s actually full of people waiting for Jesus. Hoping for Him Trusting Him Believing He would save them 📖 Isaiah 53:6 He took on the iniquity of us all Not some Not a few ALL That includes you On your hardest day When you lose your patience When you feel like you’re not enough 💔 WHAT HE ACTUALLY DID Let’s bring it back to Easter. Jesus didn’t just come to teach. 👉 He came to suffer 📖 Isaiah 53:4–5 📖 Alma 7:11–13 He took on: Pain Sickness Grief Temptation Sin Heartbreak 👉 There is NOTHING you are feeling that He has not already felt So when you feel overwhelmed in motherhood He understands When you feel alone He has already been there 🧠 MOM HEART CHECK Mamas… What are you carrying right now? Stress Comparison Exhaustion Guilt 👉 You don’t have to carry it alone Because He already carried it for you 🌅 THE VICTORY Now let’s talk about the best part. Because Easter is not just about suffering. 👉 It’s about victory 📖 1 Corinthians 15:22 In Christ shall all be made alive 📖 Isaiah 25:8 He will swallow up death in victory Let that sink in. Death is not the end Hard things are not the end Your story is not over ✨ RESURRECTION IS FOR YOU Because of Jesus Christ: You can be forgiven You can be healed You can start again You can change 👉 Resurrection is not just something that happened to Jesus 👉 It is something available to YOU Every single day When you try again When you apologize When you choose patience When you turn back to God 👉 That is resurrection in your life 👩‍👧 TEACHING YOUR KIDS Mamas, let’s make this EASY this week. You do not need a perfect lesson. Try this: Look at pictures of Jesus Read a few short verses Ask one question “What did Jesus do for us?” Let your kids tell YOU the story Watch a short Easter video Sing songs about Jesus 👉 And most importantly Share how YOU feel about Him That is what they will remember 🌿 WALK THROUGH HOLY WEEK We do the 8 days of Holy Week in our home and keep it simple: Palm Sunday Jesus enters Jerusalem on a donkey People shout Hosanna Monday Jesus cleanses the temple Tuesday Jesus teaches Wednesday A quiet preparation day Thursday The Last Supper He washes feet Gethsemane Friday The Crucifixion Saturday The tomb Waiting Silence Sunday The Resurrection The tomb is empty He lives 💗 FEELING THE SPIRIT Mamas… Your kids already feel the Spirit They just might not know what it is yet So when you feel: Peace Love Warmth Comfort 👉 Say it out loud “That’s the Spirit” Teach them how to recognize Him 🙌 WE ARE NOT ALONE We are not the only ones who believe in Jesus Ancient prophets believed in Him We believe in Him Our children are learning to believe in Him 👉 We are all connected through Christ Mamas… This Easter, keep it simple Remember Him Talk about Him Feel Him Because of Him: You are not alone You are not behind You are not too far gone 👉 You are loved 👉 You are redeemed 👉 You are becoming And He is walking with you every step of the way If this episode touched your heart, share it with another mama who needs it this week 🤍 Happy Easter, mama.
