1“I Will Make an Instrument of Thee”

1「我必使你們成為……工具」

2As you read Alma 17–22, record impressions that come to you and act on them. Doing so will show the Lord your willingness to receive more personal revelation.

2閱讀阿爾瑪書第17～22章時，將臨到你的靈感啟發記錄下來，然後付諸行動。這樣做便是向主表明，你願意獲得更多的個人啟示。

3Record Your Impressions

3記錄靈感啟發

4Think of all of the reasons people might give for not sharing the gospel: “I don’t know enough” or “I’m not sure they would be interested” or maybe “What if I offend them?” Maybe you’ve found yourself thinking similar things at times. The Nephites had an additional reason for not sharing the gospel with the Lamanites: they were “a wild and a hardened and a ferocious people; a people who delighted in murdering the Nephites” (Alma 17:14; see also Alma 26:23–25). But the sons of Mosiah had an even stronger reason why they felt they must share the gospel with the Lamanites: “They were desirous that salvation should be declared to every creature, for they could not bear that any human soul should perish” (Mosiah 28:3). This love that inspired Ammon and his brothers can also inspire you to share the gospel with your family, friends, and acquaintances—even those who may not seem likely to accept it.

4想想人們不分享福音的所有可能原因：「我懂的不多」，「我不確定他們是否會感興趣」，或是「要是我冒犯了他們怎麼辦？」或許你發現自己有時也有類似的想法。尼腓人沒有和拉曼人分享福音的另一個原因則是：他們是「野蠻、頑硬且兇殘的民族」，而且「喜愛殺害尼腓人」（阿爾瑪書17：14；亦見阿爾瑪書26：23-25）。不過，摩賽亞的兒子卻為了一個更強有力的理由，覺得必須和拉曼人分享福音：「他們渴望向每個人宣講救恩，因為他們不忍任何人的靈魂滅亡」（摩賽亞書28：3）。激勵著艾蒙和他的兄弟的這份愛，也可以激勵你和家人朋友以及認識的人，甚至看似不太可能接受的人，分享福音。

5Alma 17:1–4

5阿爾瑪書17：1-4

6As I strengthen my own faith, I can more effectively share the gospel.

6讓自己的信心變強，就能有力地分享福音。

7Have you ever been reunited with old friends and felt the way Alma did—overjoyed that they had stayed strong in the faith? (see Alma 17:1–2). What do you learn from the sons of Mosiah about how to keep your faith in the gospel and commitment to it strong? As you ponder the spiritual strength of the sons of Mosiah, what do you feel inspired to do?

7和老朋友團聚時，你是否曾有和阿爾瑪一樣的感覺——因他們仍持守信仰而感到欣喜萬分？（見阿爾瑪書17：1-2）你從摩賽亞的兒子身上學到要如何保持對福音的信心並承諾堅定不移呢？沉思摩賽亞的兒子的靈性力量時，你受到啟發要去做什麼？

8How did the spiritual preparation of the sons of Mosiah affect their work with the Lamanites? Perhaps you could use this opportunity to evaluate your efforts to teach the gospel “with power and authority of God” (Alma 17:3).

8摩賽亞的兒子在靈性上的準備如何影響了他們在拉曼人之中的事工？或許你可以利用這個機會，評估一下自己在「憑著神的力量和權柄」（阿爾瑪書17：3）教導福音這方面做得如何。

9Alma 17:6–12

9阿爾瑪書17：6-12

10I can be an instrument in God’s hands to bring salvation to His children.

10我可以成為神手中的工具，將救恩帶給祂的兒女。

11President Thomas S. Monson said, “I always want the Lord to know that if He needs an errand run, Tom Monson will run that errand for Him” (“On the Lord’s Errand: The Life of Thomas S. Monson,” video, ChurchofJesusChrist.org). As you read Alma 17:6–12, look for what the sons of Mosiah did so they could be instruments in God’s hands. How can you be an instrument in God’s hands to bless others? What do you learn from their example that gives you courage to do what the Lord needs you to do?

11多馬·孟蓀會長說：「我永遠希望主知道，只要祂需要有人為祂做事，多馬·孟蓀一定會為祂效勞」（“On the Lord’s Errand: The Life of Thomas S. Monson,” video, churchofjesuschrist.org）。研讀阿爾瑪書17：6-12時，找出摩賽亞的兒子做了什麼，使自己成為神手中的工具。你要如何成為神手中祝福別人的工具？你從他們的榜樣學到什麼，讓你有勇氣去做主需要你去做的事？

13Alma 17–18

13阿爾瑪書第17～18章

14I can help others prepare to receive the gospel.

14我可以幫助他人準備好接受福音。

15Lamoni was the leader of “a wild and a hardened and a ferocious people” (Alma 17:14), yet he overcame years of tradition and accepted the gospel of Jesus Christ. As you read about Ammon’s interactions with Lamoni, notice what Ammon did that might have helped Lamoni be more receptive to his message. If thoughts come to you about what you can do to share the gospel with others, write down these promptings.

15拉摩那是「野蠻、頑硬且兇殘的民族」（阿爾瑪書17：14）的領袖，然而他打破了多年的傳統，接受了耶穌基督的福音。閱讀艾蒙和拉摩那的互動時，注意艾蒙做了什麼，幫助拉摩那更易於接受他的信息。如果有什麼念頭臨到你，告訴你可以做什麼來跟別人分享福音，要把這些提示寫下來。

16It may also be helpful to mark or write down the truths that Ammon taught Lamoni (see Alma 18:24–39) and the truths that Aaron taught Lamoni’s father (see Alma 22:1–16). What do these verses suggest to you about the truths you can share with others to help them seek a testimony of the gospel?

16將艾蒙教導拉摩那的真理（見阿爾瑪書18：24-39），以及亞倫教導拉摩那父親的真理（見阿爾瑪書22：1-16）劃記或寫下來，可能也有所幫助。這幾節經文提示你可以跟別人分享哪些真理，好幫助他們尋求對福音的見證？

18Alma 18–22

18阿爾瑪書第18～22章

19My testimony can have a far-reaching influence.

19我的見證可以帶來深遠的影響。

20Though the accounts of conversion we read about in the scriptures often involve dramatic events, at their core we usually find individuals who had the courage to speak up and share their witness with others. One way to study the events in Alma 18–22 is to look for the far-reaching effects of one person bearing his or her testimony. Maybe you could record what you find in a diagram like this one:

20雖然我們在經文裡讀到的歸信記事往往很戲劇化，但故事的核心通常是某個人有勇氣站出來和別人分享他們的見證。研讀阿爾瑪書第18～22章的事件的一個方法，就是找出某人作見證後帶來的深遠影響。或許你可以將發現的內容記錄在如下的圖示中：

21Ammon shared the gospel with , who shared the gospel with , and the result was .

21艾蒙和分享福音，此人又和分享福音，結果。

22Alma 19:36

22阿爾瑪書19：36

23The Lord’s arm is extended to me when I repent.

23主總是向悔改的我伸出手臂。

24At the conclusion of the account of Lamoni’s conversion, Mormon taught something important about the Lord’s character. What does Alma 19:36 suggest to you about the Lord’s character? When have you felt the Lord’s arm extended toward you? How can you help those you love feel His mercy?

24摩爾門在總結拉摩那歸信的記事時，對主的品格做了重要的教導。阿爾瑪書19：36提示你主的哪項品格？你曾在何時感受到主向你伸出手臂？你要如何幫助所愛的人感受祂的慈悲？

25As you read the scriptures with your family, the Spirit can help you know what principles to emphasize and discuss in order to meet the needs of your family. Here are some ideas.

25你和家人一起閱讀經文時，聖靈會幫助你知道該強調並討論哪些原則，以符合家庭的需求。以下是一些建議：

26Alma 17–19

26阿爾瑪書第17～19章

27How can you make the accounts in these chapters come to life for your family? You could act out the story of Ammon protecting the sheep or the story of Abish gathering the multitude to witness the power of God. Perhaps family members could draw pictures of different parts of the story and use the pictures to tell the story. What will your family do to follow the examples of Ammon and Abish?

27你要如何讓這幾章的記事生動地呈現在家人面前？你們可以演出艾蒙保護羊群的故事，或是艾別絲聚集群眾來目睹神的大能的故事。或許家人可以畫出故事的不同部分，然後用這些圖片講故事。你的家庭要如何效法艾蒙和艾別絲的榜樣？

28Alma 18:24–39

28阿爾瑪書18：24-39

29Perhaps your family members could read Alma 18:24–39 together and identify the truths that Ammon taught Lamoni. Why do we think that Ammon taught Lamoni these truths first? Why is it important for us to have a testimony of these truths?

29或許你的家人可以一起閱讀阿爾瑪書18：24-39，然後找出艾蒙教導拉摩那的真理。你認為艾蒙為什麼要先教拉摩那這些真理？對這些真理有見證，為什麼對我們很重要？

30Alma 20:8–15

30阿爾瑪書20：8-15

31What can we learn from how Lamoni responded to his father? How can we follow Lamoni’s example in standing up for what is right? (For some examples, see the video “Dare to Stand Alone” on ChurchofJesusChrist.org.)

31我們可以從拉摩那回應他父親的方式中學到什麼？我們要如何效法拉摩那堅守正義的榜樣？（更多例子，見churchofjesuschrist.org上的影片「獨自奮戰的勇氣」。）

32Alma 22:15–18

32阿爾瑪書22：15-18

33Review Alma 20:23 to see what Lamoni’s father was willing to give up in order to save his life. Then review Alma 22:15 to see what he was willing to give up in order to receive the joy of the gospel. What was he willing to give up in order to know God? (see verse 18). Perhaps family members could each write a plan to give up something in order to know God more fully.

33複習阿爾瑪書20：23，看看拉摩那的父親為了保命願意放棄什麼。接著複習阿爾瑪書22：15，看看他為了獲得福音的快樂願意放棄什麼。他為了認識神願意放棄什麼？（見第18節）。或許家人可以各寫一份計畫書，提出為了更完全認識神，他們願意放棄什麼。

35Improving Personal Study

35改進個人研讀

36Identify and apply principles. Though the details of scripture stories may not seem to apply to you, the principles in these accounts often do. As you read about Ammon and Aaron, what principles about sharing the gospel do you find?

36找出原則並加以應用。經文故事的細節可能看起來不適用於你，但其中的原則卻往往適用。閱讀艾蒙和亞倫的經歷時，你找到分享福音的原則？
