Man and his works cannot compare with the majesty and greatness of God (see Moses 1:9–10 ; see also Mosiah 2:23–25 ; Helaman 12:7–8 ). No one can endure God’s presence unless the glory of God is upon him (see Moses 1:2, 11 ; see also D&C 67:11 ; 84:21–22 ). Moses saw God face-to-face upon an unknown mountain sometime after he spoke to the Lord in the burning bush but before he went to free the children of Israel from Egypt (see Moses 1:1–2, 17, 25–26, 42 ; see also Exodus 3:1–10 ).

Suggestions for Teaching

Overview of Moses 1. Moses Saw Jesus Christ and Satan Image The Lord Appearing to Moses Discuss what it is like to walk into a dark room from a brightly lit room, or vice versa. What happens to one’s eyesight? Compare what happened to Moses as he spoke to God (see Moses 1:1–9, 25–31) to what happened when he confronted Satan (see verses 12–24). Image Media Icon Consider showing part of the video “I Am a Son of God” (6:30). In this video, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles narrates Moses’s experience meeting God face-to-face. Play the video from the beginning, and stop the video after Moses’s vision ends (time code 2:50). Or, consider showing the entire video as you teach the following scripture block (Moses 1:12–23) to help students understand that we should not fear in the midst of adversity because God can help us. This video is available on LDS.org. Moses 1:4, 6–7. Moses Was a Son of God Ask students: Has anyone ever told you that they would be honored to have you as a son or a daughter? You may want to suggest that students mark “my son” in Moses 1:4, 6–7. Review the commentary under “Moses 1:4–6. Moses Was a Son of God” in the student manual. Invite students to share their thoughts on the significance of being called “sons and daughters of God.” Moses 1:6. “Thou Art in the Similitude” Ask a student to read Moses 1:6 aloud. Explain that “in the similitude” means “resembling another” or “to be in the form or image of another.” In what ways was Moses’s life similar to the life of Jesus Christ? What are some things we are asked to do as members of the Church that are similar to what Jesus Christ did? What can we accomplish in this life, and in the next life, because we know we are in the similitude of God? Testify of our divine parentage and potential.

What Colours represent Mary?

In paintings, Mary is traditionally portrayed in blue. This tradition can trace its origin to the Byzantine Empire, from circa 500 AD, where blue was "the color of an empress".

Shade of blue

Marian blue is a tone of the color ultramarine named for its use with the Virgin Mary.[1]

Background [ edit ]

In paintings, Mary is traditionally portrayed in blue. This tradition can trace its origin to the Byzantine Empire, from circa 500 AD, where blue was "the color of an empress". A more practical explanation for the use of this color is that in Medieval and Renaissance Europe, the blue pigment was derived from the rock lapis lazuli, a stone imported from Afghanistan of greater value than gold. Beyond a painter's retainer, patrons were expected to purchase any gold or lapis lazuli to be used in the painting. Hence, it was an expression of devotion and glorification to swathe the Virgin in gowns of blue. Transformations in visual depictions of the Virgin from the 13th to 15th centuries mirror her "social" standing within the Church as well as in society.[2] In art the association of blue with Mary was complemented by an association of red with Jesus. The juxtaposition of the two is an important element in many works of historical art.[3]
