Christmas Message 2017

Archive of messages sent while serving as a bishop in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

As a bishopric, in addition to wishing you a Merry Christmas, we extend our invitation to “come unto Christ, who is the Holy One of Israel, and partake of his salvation, and the power of his redemption” (Omni 1:26).

Jesus Christ is the reason for this joyous Christmas season. We remember not only Christ’s humble birth, but his life, his teachings, his example, his atonement, and his glorious resurrection.

Make Christ an important part of your holiday celebration and keep him a central part of your life all year long.

Just as the Apostles testified in The Living Christ, “that Jesus is the Living Christ, the immortal Son of God. He is the great King Immanuel, who stands today on the right hand of His Father. He is the light, the life, and the hope of the world. His way is the path that leads to happiness in this life and eternal life in the world to come.” We also add our testimony that true happiness can only be found in the Savior, Jesus Christ.

We hope you can take this small gift and put it in a place where you can see it often. As you see the picture of the temple and pass the actual temple daily, it is our prayer that it will help you, “always remember him” (D&C 20:77).

May the Lord bless you and all those found in your home this Christmas season.

With Love,
