#2 Apostasy Mirror - Restoration teaching tool
Description of Lesson Activity: Help youth review and learn to use this teaching tool to share with others about the restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ. Suggest that youth enclose this in their scriptures or journal so it is ready to share with family and friends.
Mirror Message: This mirror represents the Church of Jesus Christ. The mirror represents the Church itself, with Christ at the top as the nail, and each of the Apostles as a piece of tape. When Christ died, the Apostles held up the mirror and took care of the affairs of the Church. When the Apostles were killed, the mirror fell and broke, thus resulting in the Apostasy. But people still saw good in the mirror and took pieces and built around them, resulting in the many churches of today. This exemplifies the reason we needed a Restoration and not just a reformation . . . because a mirror that has been broken cannot be repaired – it must be replaced.
