The Wilderness MotifIn literature, a motif is a theme or idea that is nestled repeatedly within a text. Many important concepts are taught within the scriptures and when they are illustrated in recurring ways in different stories, a motif is applied. This lesson about “The Wilderness Motif” will help you to understand an idea central to your salvation that is taught again and again in the scriptures. Once you understand this motif, see if you can identify other places in the scriptures where the concept is taught as you study in the years to come.We have already studied the fact that one of the great things the Lord does for us is he delivers us from a multitude of trials. Indeed, the infinite atonement of Jesus Christ implies that His power can save all people, in all times, in All their adversities and afflictions. We will "suffer no manner of affliction, save it were swallowed up in the joy of Christ" (Alma 31:38). As the Savior saves and heals us, we come to know Him better and love Him more. Our difficult journeys in the wilderness are the means by which we know God, and know that He delivers us (1 Nephi 17:14). This lesson will introduce you to a scriptural concept that serves as an allegory for many exciting adventures we will undertake in this life that will lead us to God.InstructionsSpend up to 2 hours studying the following scriptures (as you study, look for lessons people can learn as they journey in the "wilderness", or as we experience difficult things in our efforts to follow God): If you have spent 2 hours and are not yet done with all the reading, that is okay, simply write your essay about the insights you gained from what you did read.1 Nephi 17Alma 37:38–47Ether 2:5–7Nephi and the ExodusLinks to an external site., Ensign, April 1987The Exodus RepeatedLinks to an external site., Elder Russell M.
