Christmas
The Gift of LoveDecember 25, 2023
The Gift of Love The Father knows each of us perfectly—our trials and imperfections, our longings and losses. Because He loves us, He has given us the greatest gift we could ever receive. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). Because the Son likewise loves us, He willingly gave His life for us. “[The Son] doeth not anything save it be for the benefit of the world; for he loveth the world, even that he layeth down his own life that he may draw all men unto him,” Nephi prophesied of the Savior. “Wherefore, he commandeth none that they shall not partake of his salvation” (2 Nephi 26:24). As the Savior’s disciples in the latter days, we have the responsibility and blessing to share the love the Father and the Son have for us. We share that love as we bear testimony to God’s children of the precious knowledge we have that God lives, that His Son came to earth to save us from physical and spiritual death, and that in our day the Savior has restored His Church—The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The gift of God’s Only Begotten Son is why we celebrate Christmas. Christmas means lasting hope and peace made possible through the Savior’s Atonement and Resurrection wrought out of love for us. Christmas means everlasting life and eternal reunions made possible through sacred ordinances performed in holy temples. “The main reason we celebrate Christmas is because of Easter,” President Nelson said. He added, “Because of Jesus Christ, we can repent and be forgiven of our sins. Because of Him, each of us will be resurrected.” We read sacred accounts in the New Testament of the birth of the Savior. This story is at the center of many of our favorite Christmas traditions. As we celebrate His birth, however, let us not forget that without His Resurrection and Atonement, we would not have Christmas. The Book of Mormon bears witness of the reality of the risen Christ as well as of the richness and depth of the doctrine of Christ. During the Christmas season, those who use the truths about Christ found within its pages will add more meaning to their family’s Christmas celebrations. I know that because of the Savior’s love and central role in the plan of salvation, we can receive His peace (see John 14:27) and “a more excellent hope” (Ether 12:32)—at Christmastime and always.
