Questions to Ponder and Principles to Apply

In Ether 3:1–5 — To solve the lighting problem, the brother of Jared melted clear rocks out of the mountain and then bravely asked the Lord for a miracle to make them glow. How do you think he came up promptly with that idea? What can we learn about self-help and help from the Lord? What can we begin with when we need light in our own lives? How can we apply this metaphorically to ourselves?
In Ether 3:6–16 — What caused the veil to be “taken from off the eyes of the brother of Jared?” Why did he fall to the ground? What does the nature of his fear tell you about the character of the man? What did the Lord ask of him before he could be admitted into the presence of the Lord? Why would the Lord ask that? Did he not know the heart of the brother of Jared? How much does the principle of expressed commitment matter to the Lord?
In Ether 3:21–28 — What is the nature of the visions that this prophet had? What did he see? Who else saw this information? Where are the contents of the vision recorded, and how shall they be seen?
