Week Twelve: Kids Reading
Jacob 1-4 in the Illustrated Book of Mormon
Before Nephi died he gave the plates he had written on to his younger brother Jacob. Jacob was a righteous man.
There are good lessons on the effects of sin in these chapters. Sin affects not only the sinner, but those who are close the sinner. Sin usually is a individual, selfish act, but has far reaching consequences. Even the prosperity of the land in which one lives can be affected by those who discard obedience to the ways of righteousness. At times sinful behavior on the part of a people affects several generations to follow.
