Stories of Christ: Story 6

The Wise Men

The story of the Wise Men visiting the Christ child is one that has many lessons.  This day we focus on the gifts of Christmas season those we receive and give.

Videos

The first video is the biblical account of the wise men seeking Jesus.  The second video is a modern day message about the gifts that we should be focusing on giving during the Christmas season.

Quote/Principle

I love how this quote helps us remember the gift the Savior has given us and how we can give gifts of a lasting nature through our conduct and actions.

As the Christmas season envelops us with all its glory, may we, as did the Wise Men, seek a bright, particular star to guide us in our celebration of the Savior’s birth. May we all make the journey to Bethlehem in spirit, taking with us a tender, caring heart as our gift to the Savior. May we give as the Savior gave. To give of oneself is a holy gift. We give as a remembrance of all the Savior has given. May we also give gifts that have eternal value, along with our gifts that eventually break or are forgotten. How much better the world would be if we all gave gifts of understanding and compassion, of service and friendship, of kindness and gentleness.
