Scripture
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”—Isaiah 6:9
Quote
“Like the Polar Star in the heavens, regardless of what the future holds, there stands the Redeemer of the world, the Son of God, certain and sure as the anchor of our immortal lives. He is the rock of our salvation, our strength, our comfort, the very focus of our faith.”—Gordon B. Hinckley

Living the Principle: Exploring Christ’s Names This Christmas
- Meditate on Christ’s Names: Take time each day during the Christmas season to reflect on the various names of Jesus Christ and what they mean for your life. Consider how His titles, like “Wonderful Counselor” or “Prince of Peace,” apply to your current challenges and blessings.
- Pray with Intent: As you pray, incorporate the names of Christ into your conversations with Heavenly Father. For example, thank Him for sending “Emmanuel” or ask for strength through the “Good Shepherd” to guide you through tough times.
- Serve in His Name: Look for opportunities to serve others, remembering that Christ is often referred to as the “Servant of all.” Whether through a kind word, a gesture of love, or helping someone in need, strive to reflect the attributes of Christ as you interact with others this Christmas.
