The Word: Name of Christ Devotional to Keep Christ in Christmas
Mini-devotional using a Name of Jesus Christ.
MINI-DEVOTIONAL TO KEEP CHRIST IN CHRISTMAS
Sharing another great name of Jesus Christ to study by yourself, with your family, or a group of friends.
In 2022, Russell M. Nelson, Dallin H. Oaks, and Henry B. Eyring, the First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints shared a beautify Christmas message. They wrote, “This Christmas season, we invite you to find quiet moments to reflect on our Savior’s birth, life, and atoning sacrifice. Come unto Him. Learn of Him. Look to Him for lasting peace and divine rest.” (The First Presidency’s 2022 Christmas Message, November 25, 2022).
From Thanksgiving until Christmas Day, I will share a small and simple way to remember Jesus Christ and keep Christ in Christmas. Each mini-devotional can be shared as a family or used for your personal gospel study. This year also includes a small and simple service idea to help #LightTheWorld.
One way to focus on Jesus Christ during Christmas is to learn about His many names. The Gospels, in the New Testament, contain many names of Jesus Christ in the first few chapters of each book. Praying you can find joy this Christmas season as you find ways to keep Christ in Christmas.

The Word

GENERAL CONFERENCE QUOTE: The Word
“My beloved brothers and sisters, is the Word in us? Are the truths of the Savior’s gospel written in the fleshy tables of our hearts? Are we coming unto and gradually becoming more like Him? Is the tree of Christ growing in us? Are we striving to become “new [creatures]” in Him?”
-David A. Bednar (April 2023 General Conference)
SONG: The Word
