Young Child: 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.

 

NAME OF CHRIST:

Young Child

BIBLE VERSE: Young Child

MATTHEW 2:8- “And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.“

BOOK OF MORMON VERSE: Young Child

ALMA 7:10- “And behold, he shall be born of Mary, at Jerusalem which is the land of our forefathers, she being a virgin, a precious and chosen vessel, who shall be overshadowed and conceive by the power of the Holy Ghost, and bring forth a son, yea, even the Son of God.“

GENERAL CONFERENCE QUOTE: Young Child

“The Savior knows how it feels to be a refugee—He was one. As a young child, Jesus and His family fled to Egypt to escape…Herod. …Perhaps, then, it is all the more remarkable to us that He repeatedly taught us to love one another, to love as He loves, to love our neighbor as ourselves.”
-Patrick Kearon (April 2016 General Conference)

SONG: Young Child

“What Child is This?” performed One Voice Children’s Choir
