Luke, of course, wrote the Gospel of Luke wherein he detailed in great literary style Jesus' ministry. Luke also wrote the Acts of the Apostles to highlight how that ministry changed the lives and spiritual capacities of his apostles. Study with us this week as we see how people, like Peter the apostle, who have been changed by Christ now turn to changing the world.

Over the past months we've come to know and love Jesus more as we've studied his teachings, his example, and his sacrifices for his disciples. Now, in this last episode in the gospels, we study his resurrection, his interactions with his disciples, and his commandments to them as they move forward in faith. We testify all the time that Jesus lives; in this episode we confirm that truth and discuss what exactly it means to us. Know him; love him; and tell others about him.

Everyone from Pilate to the soldiers to the Jews of the day were focused on the kingship of Jesus Christ. Pilate asked him if he was a king; the soldiers mocked him by putting a crown of thorns on his head; the Jews refused to accept him. Even the sign above his head on the cross read "King of the Jews." This week we study Jesus' final mortal acts as King. As we "view his death" we focus on those aspects of his final hours that "draw" us to him and make us want to accept him as our King!

When you last took the sacrament you promised to "remember" Jesus; over the next two weeks we dive deep into just what it is that you are supposed to remember. This week, study with us Jesus' spiritual suffering, symbolized by his blood, and come to know and feel a greater love for his sacrifice.

The word "love" appears 34 times in John chapters 13-17. These chapters, encapsulating some of the Savior's final sermons, focus on his love for us and our love for him and for others. In fact, that's the "new" part of the "new commandment" he gives to us; it's not just about loving others, it's about loving others the way he loves us. Study with us this week as we learn just how to do that!

Trees are supposed to bear fruit. Similarly, children of God are designed to bring forth "fruits". So what fruits does God expect us to bear? What stops us from bearing fruit? And what can we do to start bearing fruit?

Who is the greatest in the kingdom? How can I be great? What more must I do to earn a great reward? These questions drive our study today as we learn Jesus' responses to similar questions posed to him. Want to know how to be great? Listen to the Great One; the answer isn't quite what you may think!
