The First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has released the following 2019 Christmas message:
Memories of Christmas bring recollections of family, gifts, and service. They stem from the real reason for Christmas, that transcendent gift from our Heavenly Father. “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)
We bear witness of the living reality of Jesus Christ—the Prince of Peace and Light of the World. Joy can come to all who choose to follow Him.
This Christmas, may we reflect on the life and Atonement of Jesus Christ. May we feel kinship to those who suffer and see one another as sons and daughters of God. May we gratefully acknowledge the Father’s incomparable gift to us—His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
On December 8, 2019, the First Presidency invites Church members and their friends to participate in the First Presidency’s Christmas devotional broadcast at 6:00 p.m. mountain standard time.
The program, originating from the Conference Center, will include Christmas messages by General Authorities and General Officers of the Church. Learn more about it here.
