Good point.. Saying it's 99 who THINKS they are without sin! Love these types of insights!

[@StewartSwitzer]

Thank you Tayler and Tyler for your hard work and love of the scriptures-when you teach with the Spirit the words come to life---and again the adversary sees opportunity on the internet he wants to feed the sheep of the lord, he wants to divide and conquer but if we follow the Prophet and his chosen teachers we are on much safer ground.

I really enjoyed part 1. I learned a lot that I never knew before. Thank you. I’ve even encouraged family members to watch this episode’s part 1

[@emaartamor]

Thank you for your words that Jesus looks beyond our past, our mistakes, our sins and into our hearts, our true divine identities as His son's and daughter's ♥️. We pick up so much 'dirt' in life and it's so easy to forget who we really are.

[@sunnymonkey2389]

We are going through this right now. This episode was very validating and comforting to us. We will not give up on our son but we have to let him go and pray someday he will remember Heavenly Father’s and our family’s love for him.

[@juliekoester7776]

Thank you both for working so hard every week on a totally volunteer basis so we can learn of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Thank you Taylor for sharing your beautiful wife’s gratitude to our Father in heaven and her willingness to say thank you through sacrifice of her own. What an extraordinary example she is. ♥️

[@HopefulHealingGarden]

Jesus wept to mourn with those that mourn; to demonstrate compassion and empsthy; to show how He walks WITH us. I LOVE THIS!❤❤❤

[@cvmcmanus3763]

I love what you shared from the Prophet, Joseph Smith about the 99 being those of the Jews and the 1 being the sinners. I have felt the Savior's care - lightening my burdens, giving me peace. I have found that the trick is to keep living so that you feel Him often. I hate days when I don't feel Him, but I know He's there just the same. Always! Thanks for your wonderful insights. I binge watch you guys!

[@evelynpedulla161]

[@nettajar1938]

WOW!! You've opened my eyes. I can't tell you how many times I've read this(I'm 69 years), but this time I actually saw myself in this whole lesson. Since this Sunday is Fast and Testimony, my Fasting will be just on gratitude. When I pray, I first pray for the many blessings that I received during the day, then pray for those who need His help (whether it's physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual). So thankful that when I turn towards Him, He is there to save me. Thank you both for your help in explaining the scriptures to a simpleton like me.

Thank you both of you for how beautifully you share Jesus’s parables with such added meaning. It just makes my day that much brighter. Taylor, thank you also for sharing your wife’s insight and wisdom to fast and pray in gratitude for the blessings she received. What a concept ❣️

Know that you are loved as well! And thank you so much for all your lessons! ❤🇨🇦

[@stelestrella]

Thank you for your powerful testimony. I love learning from you both. Go bless you. ❤

[@josephinajohnson7591]

This lesson is so awesome. I loved the fasting to Thank Our Heavenly Father. Thanks for that and for all of the many things I am learning here today.

[@DiznyGrandma]

I have always had an issue with the Prodigal Son parable. I appreciated the insight 4 years ago that the both of you gave that helped me understand this better. I can understand the older son's reaction. He probably saw how hurt his father was by the actions of the younger son. The eldest was there supporting and being a son his father could be proud of. Now the younger wants to come back. I don’t think the eldest was being self righteous, but cautious for what purpose this younger wanted to gain with his return. I read this parable as the eldest's concern for his father. I also feel the father needed to help the eldest know that he was aware of what the eldest has done and that hasn't changed. He still loved him too, and all he had, all his heart, was his, but he also is relieved that the youngest is back, and he wants to rejoice over that.

[@placeholderprofile____]

It was Such a great actor that portrayed Jesus, calling Lazarus to rise in the Church video. Such a great actor. Jesus had to show them it was by the power of holiness not anything else. Thank You.

[@maryelizabethhollett2892]

You are so amazing and help my understanding of the scriptures so much. Thank you for your time.

[@taramansanarez8371]

I enjoyed this episode very much! Noting the symbolism of being loosed from the bands that bound Lazarus spiritually and literally was great! I also loved the idea of using prayer and fasting for gratitude for blessings! Thank you for sharing that Taylor!

[@richhaubrich6967]

What a beautiful segment of the Lord’s ministry! Thank you

[@helgasilski9410]

Absolutely wonderful messages both of you are sharing with us. I have been part of your group for abt 2 years, never miss a lesson, it is as important to me as the air I breathe. The way you reach out and teach, it is manna to the soul, to all who want to learn more and feel at one with Christ. Grateful for your lessons does not even begin to explain how I feel, I try to pay it forward by sharing with others what I learn and share a copy of each lesson on my FB page. The Lord bless you and your loved richly, thank you with every fiber of my being, thank you!

[@westra4]

My wife says thanks so much for all the insight you’ve given into the Scriptures. She says that Thomas has been a good example for many people, his testimony has provided the assurance for many, even though they have not seen Jesus personally.

[@timothyhudson7999]

Anyone who has ever been addicted to anything and overcome their addiction through the Atonement of Jesus Christ can have great empathy for the Prodigal Son. Just sayin'.

[@jackierobinson8785]

In the addiction community are we not all equals from a God who is no respector of persons. Does that not then include the atoning price for all who obediently stay or in rebellious arrogance leave. Are we not all beggars at his feet? Just saying…

[@lamme527]

100%

[@glennlewman4186]

The Atonement of Christ is the most powerful force for change in the Universe. We can experience it in our own life and bring it to others that all can have the Joy Our Father desires for his children

[@lindathomas2350]

That is absolutely the truth! 👍

[@belogical3961]

I don't want to sound great but Jesus is great and I have felt him pick me up so many times recently and in my past He is real he is real I say it twice to convince myself because it is faith-driven and he is real and that's how hard it is sometimes. He can be so real to me but then his presence can leave because it's been so strong it comes quickly back because my faith is like a mustard seed but it's like I know Jesus is there, even always, if you know how to find him and if you know what to look for, you will realize Jesus is there so much! At least that's in my experience. The more I realize Jesus is there, the stronger and more powerful I feel about the positive direction I'm headed with his support.

[@1706irma]

Thank you, Taylor and Tyler, for the beautiful lessons. I know that thanks to the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the human being will be resurrected. What is known about animals as pets? Will they also be resurrected, and will see them again?

[@lorijardine4523]

Wow. This was so GOOD. What a great foreshadowing of Christ's death and resurrection in the story of Lazarus. Perhaps Jesus was weeping because He felt EXACTLY what God would feel when Jesus would die and be resurrected too. What a beautiful teaching moment to all. They sought to kill him because they felt He would take their place and their nation. The IRONY of that statement is that He doesn't and will never take away from us. He gives Life and is the Life and Resurrection.

[@guymackey6226]

❤🙏

[@alanneefe110]

I enjoy each episode! Can you explain how Agape and Hesed are similar or different?

[@dianeschwartz5518]

I think we could have a different analogy regarding the 90 and nine. We know that Jesus would not leave them unattended, so they have been left in care of their ward leaders and their stake leaders while JESUS goes after the one. The 90 at nine or not perfect but they’re striving for perfection and are faithful. As much as we strive to go after the “one”, we can’t do it without CHRIST. Just food for thought.

[@sofiadeleon-hofmann7022]

Is this please, the resurrection of Lazarus? Please,teach me more 💖🙏💥 Thanks so much 💓💓💓

[@GeraldineGlam]

Yes this is the resurrection of Lazarus🤍 and you can find more details on the come follow me by Lynne Hilton Wilson on this same channel 😃 she’s also very knowledgeable 💕

[@shelleystevens4737]

Prodigal Son parable: I think it is interesting to note that BOTH sons were given their portion, with the oldest son being given a double portion according to Jewish tradition. BOTH sons received all that the father had. "...And he divided unto THEM his living." (v 12)

[@Joy-sx4uk]

When the one of ten lepers were made whole. I have always thought he represented tithes, 1/10. Jesus was merciful for all their healing and the one represented the tithe we give in thanks because all comes from God.

[@scripturecentralofficial]

That is a great interpretation of the story.

[@healthyliving4495]

In relation to the parable of the laborers... Those who went to work first were paid more. Almost anyone who has been unemployed and stressed about that unemployment, would rather be one of the first to be hired. Those people knew they would have a days wage. I don't know, but perhaps they were fed lunch, but even if not, there are huge blessings that come from work, even apart from the pay.

[@outsideview9052]

With regard to the lepors, how far would they need to go before their faith and the healing/cleansing took place? In the scripture the Lord only required that they start the journey to see the priests. Wouldnt it be the same even if they had to travel for days and then were cleansed right before they got there? Living by Faith is not easy.

[@roseakinsemoyin6580]

When you discussed the nature of Martha and Mary in Luke 10, I strongly identified with Martha but in this discussion, I know I will have reacted as Mary. What's changed?

[@outsideview9052]

This could fit in with some peoples fixation on being perfect. They might begin to think that despite not being perfect and worthy to enter into the highest level of the Celestial Kingdom, the Terrestrial Kingdom is fantastic on its own so maybe I will go back. Isnt there wisdom in saying that of "dont fixate on having it all to the point that you cant enjoy having enough as to spare today." Suddenly you find happiness and joy in your life and you also discover that qualifying for the highest level in the Celestial Kingdom doesnt depend on you being perfect on your own.

[@rigorous-course]

I would like to participate in your video some day please :)

[@alatterdaysaintonfire5643]

The older son is actually Jesus Christ speaking on His own feelings about how much He will give, and there will be no celebration. Who never has transgressed. Who will receive all that the Father has

[@susielambonline]

Where does the term the Son of Man come from?

[@Pyrodave6]

"In the language of Adam, Man of Holiness is his name, and the name of his Only Begotten is the Son of Man, even Jesus Christ, a righteous Judge, who shall come in the meridian of time (Moses 6:57)." Son of Man of Holiness

[@cindybowles6311]

At the end of your video you read the scripture John 11:48, my question is why did the Pharisees think that if they all believed on Jesus that the Roman's would come and take away there nation? I understand that Rome had concured their nation and was in control of their country but why would this keep them from wanting to follow and believe on the Messiah they were waiting for?

[@sofiadeleon-hofmann7022]

Please , is the restoration of Lazarus life by the Savior Jesus Christ Could desegnated as Lazarus resurrection? Pls help me understand it. Thanks so much 💓💓💓

[@johnlarsen2090]

We sure would like to hear more from Taylor. Why not give Taylor more time?

[@janiceneufeld1688]

I love Come Follow Me but I wish Taylor would teach more. Why is he always in the background 😢

[@scripturecentralofficial]

Taylor and Tyler have been friends for 11+ years. Taylor recognized that Tyler has a gift for teaching the Gospel, and begged Tyler to record his lectures to BYU students to make available online. Tyler always declined because he didn't want to draw any attention to himself in that way. When CFM rolled around for Book of Mormon 2020, Taylor approached Tyler and asked him to record a brief episode on the introduction to the BoM. Tyler agreed. Over time they kept recording episodes together and that eventually morphed into what you all now know as Come Follow Me Insights. Taylor has said on multiple occasions that Tyler provides the meat and application while he provides the color commentary. If you wonder why there is a disparity in time sharing, it is by design. Our editors even not many occasions where Tyler will stop teaching to give Taylor an opportunity to share, but Taylor declines, and instead motions for Tyler to continue. Hopefully this explanation helps regarding the setup of Come Follow Me Insights. Thanks for watching! We hope that your knowledge and love for the Savior increase each time you study with us!

[@gwengold8154]

@Scripture Central It sounds like we owe a HUGE debt of gratitude to Taylor for twisting Tyler's arm into being our teacher! Thank you, Taylor! ❤️ And SO much thanks to Tyler, too! ❤️ You are a truly talented teacher. I learn so much from each lesson. The scriptures come alive for me in a new way, and my understanding has deepened exponentially. God bless you both for sharing your time and talents with us. We appreciate you!
