Teachings of Pres. Howard W. Hunter: Ch.10

 “The Scriptures-Most Profitable of All Study”

Highlights: “When we … read and study the scriptures, benefits and blessings of many kinds come to us. This is the most profitable of all study in which we could engage.”

President Howard W. Hunter had a great love for the scriptures and was a dedicated student of them. This love and study were reflected in his teachings … Often when teaching a gospel principle, he selected at least one story from the scriptures, told it in detail, and drew applications from it.

Scripture: Mark 5: 22-24

And [Jairus] besought him greatly, saying, “My little daughter lieth at the point of death.” The tremor we hear in Jairus’s voice as he speaks of “My little daughter” stirs our souls with sympathy as we think of this man of high position in the synagogue on his knees before the Savior. When they got to the home of the ruler of the synagogue, Jesus took the little girl by the hand and raised her from the dead. In like manner, he will lift and raise every man to a new and better life who will permit the Savior to take him by the hand.
