Since a new star first appeared above Bethlehem, Christmas has been a season of light, reminding us that Jesus Christ is the light of the world. Together, we can celebrate His birth by making the world a brighter place. All we have to do is follow Him—His life, His example, and His teachings. In doing so, we can help #LIGHTtheWORLD.
I am absolutely in love with the church Christmas initiative this year! Elder Bednar explained that the initiative is inspired by two scriptures from the New Testament, as well as a quote by President Thomas S. Monson. In the first scripture found in John 8:12, Jesus says, “I am the light of the world.” However, in Matthew 5:14, during the Sermon on the Mount, the Savior told his disciples, “Ye are the light of the world.” The initiative will invite people everywhere to share the light of Christ by doing the simple things the Savior did during his earthly ministry.
“As we follow the example of the Savior and live as he lived and as he taught, that light will burn within us and will light the way for others,” President Thomas S. Monson said in his October 2015 general conference address.
