AbinadiTell me what you know about this….

“There was a man among them

whose name was Abinadi”(Mosiah 11:20)

In Hebrew, ab means "father," abi means "my father," and nadi is "present with you." So the name Abinadi may mean something like "my father is present with you."

Ten Commandments

Which commandment is most important to keep?

Abinadi Preaches

ChristMosiah 14 is Abinadi

quoting Isaiah’s famous Messianic Prophecy. Read it, looking for a line or verse about the Savior that is particularly powerful to you.

Mosiah 14:3 What does “we hid as it were our faces

from him” mean? Mosiah 14:4 According to this verse, what did Jesus

suffer for in addition to our sins? “Jesus’ daily mortal experiences and His ministry included a

sample of human sicknesses, grief, pains, sorrows, and infirmities which are ‘common to man’. Since not all human sorrow and pain is connected to sin, the full intensiveness of the Atonement involved bearing our pains, infirmities, and sicknesses, as well as our sins. Whatever our sufferings, we can safely cast our ‘care upon him; for he careth for [us]’ (1 Peter 5:7)” (Elder Maxwell, “Not My Will, But Thine” [1988], 51).

Mosiah 17

Have you ever witnessed someone stand up for what was right when it was difficult for him or her to do so? What was the outcome?

How strong is your testimony? Would you be willing to die for it? More importantly, are you willing to live for it?

Mosiah 17

“Be strong—in standing for the right. We live in an age of compromise and acquiescence. In situations with which we are daily confronted, we know what is right, but under pressure from our peers and the beguiling voices of those who would persuade us, we capitulate. We compromise. We acquiesce. We give in, and we are ashamed of ourselves. … We must cultivate the strength to follow our convictions” (Gordon B. Hinckley, “Building Your Tabernacle,” Ensign, Nov. 1992, 52).
