The birth of Jesus Christ represents the promise of Christmas fulfilled, as foretold by prophets and anticipated by faithful believers for centuries. As we celebrate His birth, we can rejoice in the promise of peace, redemption, and eternal life made possible through Him.
Scripture
“Lift up your head and be of good cheer; for behold, the time is at hand, and on this night shall the sign be given, and on the morrow come I into the world, to show unto the world that I will fulfill all that which I have caused to be spoken by the mouth of my holy prophets.”—3 Nephi 1:13
Quote
“As we begin the Christmas season, may we consider the scriptural prophecies about the Savior. They are not just odd statements of coincidence; rather, they are profound statements of purpose and promise about His life and mission and what He means for each of us.”—Robert D. Hales

Living the Principle: The Promise of Christmas Fulfilled
- Reflect on Christ’s Mission: Study scriptures that testify of Jesus Christ’s birth, life, and Atonement to deepen your gratitude for His fulfilled promise. These sacred accounts remind us that God keeps His promises and invites us to trust in His plan.
- Embrace Faithful Obedience: Follow the Savior’s teachings with trust in God’s promises, just as those who awaited His birth lived in hope and faith. Living with obedience and hope allows us to align our lives with His will and feel the blessings of His guidance.
- Share His Light: Serve others and share the joy of Christ’s gospel, extending the fulfillment of His promise to those in need of love and peace. Acts of kindness and compassion bring His light to the world and help others feel the true spirit of Christmas.
