Lesson 1: Plan of Salvation
Lesson 1 Module 1
The temple is a pattern for our lives. It shows us how to walk on the Path back to God and it is a template of how to run our homes. We spent the first few minutes seeing the pattern within the tabernacle framework. The temple is like a physical Plan of Salvation.
We talked about a short history of temple and comparison of sizes. Then we talked about the history and the importance of altars and how we continue to have altars today. I introduced you to the word Shekinah, the pillar of fire by night and cloud by day. This describes the presence of God.
Possible Take Aways:
- Patterns of three are easily found in the temple.

- Just as the altar represents Christ so does the temple.

- Creation & Fall stories are necessary part of the temple experience, we go in reverse back through them.
- The door was opened and veil were rent so we can go back through.
- The cloud and fire worked together for our good.
- The sacrament and the temple ordinances are all about coming to Christ.
