Obedience

Obedience
I am teaching the lesson in Relief Society (Women's group) in Church on Sunday, July 28th.  The lesson is based on the talk "Obedience Brings Blessings" by President Thomas S. Monson from Spring Conference 2013.  I developed a little worksheet to go along with it.  Match the person to their act of obedience and the blessings that came as a result.  Answers are at the bottom.  Have fun!  :)
Who                  Act of Obedience                                    Blessings
Noah                 Willing to offer his son as sacrifice          Freedom of the Israelites from Egypt
Moses                Lived a sinless life and died on cross       Book of Mormon
Nephi                 Returned to Egypt, mouthpiece of God   Salvation of humankind
Joseph Smith     Stopped persecuting Christians                Safety of his family and animals
Abraham            Built an Ark                                              Spread Gospel furthest in 1st Century
Job                     Followed directions of Angel Moroni      Saved language and record of family
Jesus                  Never cursed God in his trials                  Blessed generations numerous as sand
Paul                   Returned for brass plates                           Blessed with more than he lost
"He that keepeth [God's] commandments receiveth truth and light, until he is glorified in truth and knoweth all things."  Obedience is necessary to salvation.   Obedience is directly related to the happiness, peace, progress, prosperity and the eternal salvation and exaltation of God's people.  The greatest and most perfect example of obedience is Jesus Christ.
