Here’s your daily dose of what matters most!
To stand as a witness of Jesus Christ is to align your actions with His teachings and openly declare His truth to those around you. It requires personal conviction and the strength to share your beliefs, trusting that the Holy Spirit will guide you in moments of uncertainty.
Scripture
“And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.”—Luke 2:38
Quote
“Anna and Simeon were eyewitnesses to the infant, but, just like the Apostles, their knowledge of his divine mission came through the witness of the Holy Ghost. Therefore, we can properly say that when each received this witness, Simeon was a prophet and Anna was a prophetess. Each then fulfilled the prophetic duty to testify to those around them.”—Dallin H. Oaks
