Today I taught the Sunday school lesson, as a substitute teacher in my ward. It was a humbling experience and happened in the middle of some stressful times for my wife and I. Preparing for, then actually giving this lesson helped to grow my faith and give me confidence to move forward with some things.

The lesson was over 3rd Nephi 22-26. The words of Isaiah in chapters 22 & 23, are powerful and Christ commands us here to study them, but as in my lesson, I’m not sure we have time to discover them now. So I want to focus on 24-26. As Christ is teaching the Nephites, there are patterns, points, and a structure. So here’s what I have learned about these chapters, both in studying, & teaching them, now and in the past.
