Ether 8:1-7

What we learned...

"When Jared lost his power he wasn't sorrowful for the people that died but for the fact that he lost his power." (Kenyon)

"The person who became king over the Jaredites was Omer, and he had a son Jared." (Maycee)

"Jared rebelled against his father." (Jaron)

"Jared wasn't really sad about anyone except himself." (Whitney)

"Jared was upset because he had his heart set upon his kingdom, and he lost that." (Shaylee)

"Omer's other sons were upset so they raised an army to overthrow Jared and put their father back on the throne of his kingdom." (Mom)

"Jared followed the pattern of other wicked people throughout the scriptures who led people away by using flattery or telling them what they want to hear, what appeals to the natural man, because they know that's what people want to hear so they can do whatever they want. To the contrary, the prophets are usually rejected because they tell the people what they don't want to hear and to repent." (Dad)
