The Birth of Christ
This story is well known and loved. I like to share the video and then read the first couple of pages in the New Testament Scripture Reader. It talks about why they were traveling and the birth of the Savior, without going into the shepherds or wise men which are stories for another day.
Video
This video is just the beginning of the story, Subsequent parts are shown on other days. This video depicts Mary and Joseph traveling to Bethlehem and finding shelter in a stable.
Quote/Principle
This beautiful quote helps us realize the miracle that the Birth of Christ was. He was to become our Savior, yet he came to Earth so humbly.
“We remember with gratitude that night of nights which marked the fulfillment of prophecy when a lowly manger cradled a newborn child. With the birth of the babe in Bethlehem, there emerged a great endowment, a power stronger than weapons, a wealth more lasting than the coins of Caesar. This child, born in such primitive circumstances, was to be the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, the promised Messiah—even Jesus Christ, the Son of God.”
Thomas S. Monson, The Upward Reach, Oct 1993, General Conference
Ornament
The Manger where the Christ child first laid his head, reminds us of His humble birth.
