Quote/Principle
The principle that I wanted to present was how a testimony of Christ and His divinity can be ours through the Holy Ghost. The quote by Dallin H. Oaks helps highlight this principle in relation to the story of Christ being presented at the temple.

In obedience to the law of Moses, Joseph and Mary brought the infant Jesus to the temple at Jerusalem after forty days, to present him to the Lord. There, two aged and spiritual temple workers received a witness of his identity and testified of him. Simeon, who had known by revelation from the Holy ghost that he should not taste of death until he had seen the Messiah, took the infant in his arms and testified to his divine mission. Anna, whom the scripture called "a prophetess", recognized the Messiah "and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem." Anna and Simeon were eyewitnesses to the infant, but their knowledge of his divine mission came through the witness of the Holy Ghost.
