Christmas Message 2018

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

In this year’s First Presidency Christmas Devotional, President Nelson taught about four gifts that Jesus Christ has given us:

1) The unlimited capacity to love

2) The ability to forgive

3) The gift of repentance

4) The promise of life everlasting

 These gifts give us hope, give us peace, and bring joy to our lives. When we accept them and use them in our lives, they lift us and allow us to lift others.

So, my Christmas message is simple. Let us follow the prophet and follow Jesus Christ. Find a way to use these gifts from the Savior in your life before the Christmas season is over.

1. Reach out and share your love with your family, neighbors, and even those that you struggle to love.

2. Forgive those that have offended you and forgive yourself.

3. Forsake your favorite sin and choose to be better tomorrow than you are today.

4. Continue down the covenant path by making and keeping sacred covenants.

May each of you enjoy these gifts from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and find happiness and peace in your lives.

 

Merry Christmas,

The Brookside 1st Ward Bishopric
