💡 The big idea

Jesus Christ invites everyone who is weighed down to take His yoke through covenants, and He gives real rest, the kind the Sabbath and sincere prayer are meant to bring.

I can yoke myself to Jesus Christ by keeping my covenants, let Him help carry what’s heavy, and use the Sabbath and prayer to draw closer to Him.

Study it yourself firstRead Matthew 11–12; Luke 11 in Gospel LibraryCome, Follow Me manualOpen this week (Matthew 11–12; Luke 11)
Know the chapters

Matthew 11–12 and Luke 11 cover a lot: John the Baptist, in prison, sends disciples to ask if Jesus is really the One (Matthew 11:2–6); Jesus answers with evidence and a blessing on those not offended in Him. Then comes one of the most loved invitations in scripture: “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28–30). Matthew 12 moves into a string of Sabbath confrontations with the Pharisees, a warning that our words reveal our hearts (Matthew 12:34–37), and the request for a sign. Luke 11 gives the Lord’s Prayer, the parable of the friend at midnight, “ask, and it shall be given you,” and the promise that the Father will give the Holy Spirit to those who ask (Luke 11:13).

A yoke is a wooden beam that joins two animals so they pull a load together. Jesus doesn’t promise no load; He promises to be yoked with us, and that His yoke is easy and His burden light. Latter-day prophets connect this to covenants: at baptism, each week at the sacrament, and in the temple endowment, we bind ourselves to Him. In October 2022, President Russell M. Nelson taught that covenant keepers are entitled to a special kind of rest (“Overcome the World and Find Rest”), and that making and keeping covenants makes life easier, though not easy. Many in this class will receive their endowment within a few years; this is a perfect week to make the temple sound like rest rather than a list of rules.

Today’s scripture scene is Matthew 12:1–14. In the King James Version, “corn” means grain, likely wheat or barley. Later Jewish tradition counted reaping among the kinds of work forbidden on the Sabbath, and plucking grain could be treated as reaping. Jesus answers with David eating the shewbread, priests working in the temple on the Sabbath, and Hosea 6:6: “I will have mercy, and not sacrifice.” Then He heals a withered hand in a synagogue on the Sabbath and declares, “it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days” (Matthew 12:12). The scene ends soberly: the Pharisees go out and plot to destroy Him (12:14). In latter-day revelation the Lord calls the Sabbath a day to rest from our labors and offer our devotions to Him (D&C 59:9–10).

Hard questions this age may raise: Sunday jobs, tournaments, and homework are real decisions for 16–18-year-olds. The Savior moved the question from “What’s allowed?” to “What honors God and does good?” Help youth think in principles, not a checklist. If someone worries about the sin against the Holy Ghost in Matthew 12:31–32, be reassuring and accurate: latter-day scripture describes it as knowingly denying the Savior after receiving a sure witness and His power, and openly fighting against Him (D&C 76:31–35). A teen who is anxious about it can be reassured; that worry and a desire to repent point the other way. Invite them to talk with a parent or their bishop.

Only have 5 minutes?

Read Matthew 11:28–30, Matthew 12:1–14, and Luke 11:1–13. Open with Heavy Laden (a volunteer holds their arms out while the class names burdens), do the human yoke, let Teach Mode carry the Sabbath scene, then run the Sabbath Spectrum wiggle. Skip the prayer race if time is short, but keep two discussion questions and end by reading Matthew 11:28–30 slowly. Brought nothing? Tap “I brought nothing”: every step has a no-supplies version.

What to bring4 items

Tick what you have. Forgot something? Every step that needs a supply has a no-supplies version in the plan below.

Before class

  1. Read Matthew 11:28–30 slowly, then Matthew 12:1–14 and Luke 11:1–13.
  2. Load the books next to the backpack (not in it) so you can add them one at a time during the hook.
  3. Text a Narrator before Sunday to read the Sabbath scene (they read the Savior’s words), and ask a good sport to play the Sheep that falls in the pit.
  4. Optional: read President Russell M. Nelson, “Overcome the World and Find Rest” (October 2022). You’ll read two short lines from it in the yoke step.
  5. Think of one honest example of a covenant or commitment to God making something in your life easier, even when it wasn’t easy.

If your class is wild

  • The backpack hook works best with a strong volunteer who wants to prove they can hold it. Let them try. The point lands when they finally can’t.
  • Keep the Sabbath Spectrum judgment-free. Youth with Sunday jobs or divorced-family weekends have real constraints; the goal is thinking, not scoring each other.
  • The Sheep is the comic relief in a serious scene. Let them bleat once, loudly, and then the room will be ready to listen.
  • In the prayer race, don’t accept vague answers. “Prayer is good” is not a point; “Keep knocking even when the answer is slow, verse 8” is.
  • Let youth lead: the Narrator runs the scene, a youth leads the discussion, and someone offers the closing prayer.

1. Hook

Heavy Laden

3 min

Watching a backpack get heavier as the class names real burdens makes “heavy laden” feel like their own life.

  1. Ask a strong volunteer to hold the empty backpack straight out in front of them with one arm.
  2. SAY“Name something people our age carry that nobody can see.” For each answer (tests, college applications, family stuff, a breakup, anxiety, a secret), drop a book in.
  3. Keep going until their arm shakes. Ask the volunteer: “What do you need right now?” (Help. Put it down. Someone to share it.)
  4. SAY“Jesus has an invitation for exactly this. But He doesn’t just say, ‘Put it down.’ He says something stranger.”
🌪️ Don’t let the volunteer suffer long. The moment the arm shakes, take the backpack and thank them.

Instead of: A backpack, 8–10 heavy books (hardbacks, textbooks, or scriptures)

Arms Out

  1. Ask a volunteer to hold your scriptures straight out in front of them with one arm (or just hold both arms straight out).
  2. SAY“Name something people our age carry that nobody can see.” For each answer, the volunteer imagines one more weight, and the class counts the seconds out loud.
  3. When their arm starts to shake, ask: “What do you need right now?” (Help. Put it down. Someone to share it.)
  4. SAY“Jesus has an invitation for exactly this. But He doesn’t just say, ‘Put it down.’ He says something stranger.”

2. Scripture

Yoked

5 min

A two-person yoke shows why Jesus offers to share the load through covenants instead of simply removing it.

  1. Read Matthew 11:28–30 together. Ask: “He offers rest, and then… more to carry? What’s going on?”
  2. Lay the broom handle across the shoulders of two volunteers, one of them you. Hang the loaded backpack from the middle. Walk a few steps together. Ask the class: “Who’s carrying the weight now?”
  3. SAY“A yoke joins two so they pull together. When we make covenants (at baptism, every week with the sacrament, and in the temple), we choose to be yoked to Him.”
  4. Read President Nelson’s two lines from this lesson’s conference quotes. Ask: “Easier but not easy. Do you believe that? Where have you seen it?”
  5. Teach Matthew 11:28–29 with the memory hooks. Say it together once.
🌪️ If the pair walking with the broom starts goofing off, point out that a yoke only works when both walk the same direction. That’s the lesson.

  2. Link elbows with a volunteer, side by side, and walk across the room in step while you pantomime pulling a heavy load together. Ask: “Who’s carrying the weight now?”
  3. SAY“A yoke joins two so they pull together. When we make covenants (at baptism, every week with the sacrament, and in the temple), we choose to be yoked to Him.”
  4. Read President Nelson’s two lines from this lesson’s conference quotes. Ask: “Easier but not easy. Do you believe that?”

3. Story

Scripture Scene: Lord of the Sabbath

6 min

Acting out Matthew 12:1–14 shows the Savior turning the Sabbath from a list of rules into a day for mercy and doing good.

  1. Hand out roles (tap Roles in Teach Mode). The Narrator reads the Savior’s words; no one plays Jesus.
  2. Your Narrator reads each scene while the cast acts.
  3. After scene 4, ask: “What was the Pharisees’ question? What question did Jesus want them to ask instead?” (Not “Is this allowed?” but “Is this merciful? Is this good?”)
  4. After scene 8, ask: “A man’s hand was healed. Why were they angry instead of happy?”
  5. SAY“The Pharisees made the Sabbath heavier. Jesus made it a day of rest and healing. That’s the same thing He offers in Matthew 11.”
🌪️ If the Pharisees get too villainous, remind them these were sincere, careful people. That’s what makes the scene a warning for us.

4. Wiggle break

Sabbath Spectrum

2 min

Standing on a spectrum turns the Savior’s Sabbath principle into honest thinking about real choices youth face.

  1. Everyone stands. One wall is “Draws me closer to God,” the opposite wall is “Pulls me away,” the middle is “Depends.”
  2. Read each one and let youth move: “A nap.” · “Visiting Grandma.” · “A tournament game.” · “Scrolling for an hour.” · “Family history.” · “Finishing homework due Monday.” · “Texting a friend who’s struggling.”
  3. When people split, ask someone in the middle: “What does it depend on?”
  4. SAY“Jesus didn’t hand them a longer list. He gave them a question: Does this honor God and do good?”

Ask, Seek, Knock Race

4 min

A team race through Luke 11:1–13 builds the study skill of pulling truths from a passage, and those truths change how youth pray.

  1. Two teams. Say: “Luke 11:1–13 is packed with truths about prayer. You have two minutes to find as many as you can. Each truth needs a verse number.” Start the Big Timer.
  2. Teams take turns reading one truth at a time. You decide if it counts: specific and in the text.
  3. Look for these: they asked to be taught (1) · pray to the Father and honor His name (2) · ask for daily needs (3) · ask forgiveness as we forgive (4) · ask for help with temptation (4) · keep asking; persistence matters (8) · ask, seek, knock (9) · everyone who asks receives (10) · the Father gives good gifts (11–12) · He gives the Holy Spirit to those who ask (13).
  4. Most truths wins. Ask the winners: “Which one will change how you pray tonight?”

6. Talk it over

Real Talk

3 min

Honest questions connect rest, the Sabbath, our words, and prayer to decisions youth are making now.

  1. Sit in a circle. A youth discussion leader reads the questions and calls on people.
  2. Pick two or three. Let silence work, and share one honest answer yourself.
💬 Ask the class
  • What would it actually look like to bring something heavy to the Savior this week, not just say you did?
  • When has keeping a commitment to God made something easier for you, even though it wasn’t easy?
  • The Pharisees had a rule for everything but missed mercy. What question helps you make Sabbath choices better than a list does?
  • Matthew 12:34 says our words come from what fills our hearts. What do our texts, comments, and group chats say about our hearts?
  • Luke 11:13 promises the Holy Spirit to those who ask. What might change if you asked for that specifically, every day this week?

Story drama

Lord of the Sabbath

Matthew 12:1–14 ↗

Parts to hand out

  • NarratorReads each scene, including the Savior’s words. No one plays Jesus.
  • DisciplesHungry followers who pluck grain and eat it as they walk.
  • PhariseesRule-watchers who object, set a trap, and finally walk out to plot.
  • Man with the Withered HandSits in the synagogue with his hand pulled in close, then stretches it out, healed.
  • The SheepFalls into a pit in Jesus’s example and bleats until someone lifts it out.
  • The FieldEveryone else: sway like grain in scene 1, then become the synagogue crowd.

Scenes

  1. 🌾 Hungry disciples walk through a grain field

    It was the Sabbath. Jesus and His disciples were walking through a field of grain, and the disciples were hungry. So they picked some heads of grain, rubbed them in their hands, and ate as they walked.

    🎬 The Field sways. The Disciples reach out, pluck invisible grain, rub it between their palms, and chew.

  2. 🧐☝️ “That which is not lawful!”

    Some Pharisees saw it and pounced. Look, your disciples are doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath! To them, picking grain counted as harvesting, and harvesting was work.

    🎬 The Pharisees point and say together, “Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.”

  3. 📖 “Have ye not read what David did?”

    Jesus answered with their own scriptures. When David was hungry, he ate the holy shewbread from the house of God. And every Sabbath the priests work hard in the temple and are blameless. Then He said something startling: in this place is one greater than the temple.

    🎬 The Pharisees open invisible scrolls and look at each other, uncomfortable.

  4. ❤️ “I will have mercy, and not sacrifice”

    If you understood what this means, He told them, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, you would not have condemned people who did nothing wrong. For the Son of man is Lord even of the Sabbath day.

    🎬 The Disciples stand a little taller. The Pharisees fold their arms.

  5. 🏛️✋ A man with a withered hand

    Later, in the synagogue, there was a man whose hand was withered. The Pharisees saw their chance and set a trap: Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath? They wanted something to accuse Him with.

    🎬 The Field becomes the synagogue crowd and sits. The Man holds his hand curled close to his chest. The Pharisees lean in, waiting.

  6. 🐑🕳️ A sheep falls into a pit

    Jesus answered with a question. If one of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, won’t you grab it and pull it out? How much more is a man worth than a sheep? So it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.

    🎬 The Sheep drops to the floor and bleats pitifully. Two Disciples haul it out. Everyone laughs, then settles.

  7. ✋✨ “Stretch forth thine hand”

    Then He said to the man, “Stretch forth thine hand.” He stretched it out, and it was restored, whole, just like the other one.

    🎬 The Man slowly uncurls his hand and holds it out next to the other, amazed. The synagogue crowd gasps.

  8. 🤫 The Pharisees go out to plot

    You would think everyone would celebrate. Instead, the Pharisees walked out and held a council about how they could destroy Him. A man had been healed, and all they could see was a broken rule.

    🎬 The Pharisees walk to a corner and huddle, whispering. Everyone else watches them in silence.

Key verse

Matthew 11:28–29 ↗
“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.”
In plain words: Everyone who is worn out and carrying too much: come to Jesus. Let Him yoke Himself to you and teach you. He is gentle and humble, and with Him you will find rest.
🙌 Memory hooks: “Come unto me” = beckon with one hand · “heavy laden” = shoulders slump · “I will give you rest” = shoulders drop and relax · “Take my yoke upon you” = rest a hand across your shoulders · “meek and lowly in heart” = hand on heart, head slightly bowed · “rest unto your souls” = deep breath out.

More verses

Matthew 11:30 ↗
“For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
In plain words: Being yoked to Jesus makes the load lighter, not heavier.
Matthew 12:12 ↗
“How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.”
In plain words: People matter more than rules about sheep. The Sabbath is a day for doing good.
Matthew 12:34–35 ↗
“for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things”
In plain words: What fills your heart comes out in your words. A good heart produces good things.
Luke 11:13 ↗
“how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?”
In plain words: If imperfect parents give good gifts, Heavenly Father will surely give the Holy Ghost to anyone who asks Him.

This week’s challenge

Walk Yoked

This week, pick one heavy thing and bring it to Heavenly Father in a specific, out-loud prayer, asking for the Holy Ghost’s help with it (Luke 11:13). Then plan next Sunday on purpose: choose one thing to do that honors God and does good for someone.

Text the parents

This week we talked about the Savior’s invitation in Matthew 11:28–30 to take His yoke and find rest, acted out Jesus healing on the Sabbath (Matthew 12), and raced to find truths about prayer in Luke 11. Ask your teen: why would Jesus offer a yoke to someone who’s already worn out, and what’s one Sabbath choice they’ve had to think through?
