As the study of the human reproductive system gets closer I thought it would be nice to have a family related post about education. As I looked through the Education in Zion exhibit there were a few quotes that caught my eye.
In June of 1831, Oliver Cowdery and W.W. Phelps were instructed to write and print books for schools "that little children also may receive instruction before me as is pleasing unto me" (D&C 55:4) W.W, Phelps later said, “We are preparing to go out from among the people, where we can serve God in righteousness; and the first thing is, to teach our children; for they are as the Israel of old. It is our children who will take the kingdom and bear it off to all the world.”
The teaching of children has always been a huge part of the gospel of Christ. In my opinion it is probably the most important thing to do. It obviously important to Heavenly Father as well because it is part of The Family: A Proclamation To The World. It reads, "Parents have a sacred duty to rear their children in love and righteousness, to provide for their physical and spiritual needs, and to teach them".
I was fortunate enough to be placed in a family with parents very mindful of teaching their children the importance of achieving the highest education possible. I hope that one day I am able to properly teach my children the importance of education and that this tradition of high education continues to touch the lives of many generations to come.
May we all keep the future generations in mind as we study the most sacred system in the human body.
