Loving Like Him

At Jesus’s birth the angels sang, and a new star appeared to light the sky. Shepherds welcomed Him. Wise Men were later led to worship Him.

Jesus Christ chose to come down from His throne in heaven to live on earth. He did it out of love for every son and daughter of Heavenly Father. He did it out of love for you—and for me.

To have the spirit of Christmas, we must try to love as He loved. His words to you and to me are, “Love one another, as I have loved you” (John 15:12).

I testify that the baby born in Bethlehem is Jesus Christ, the beloved Son of God. I love you and wish you a joyous Christmas season—this year and always.

Follow the Star

A new star in the sky guided the Wise Men to baby Jesus (see Matthew 2:10–11). Color the stars to help them find the path to Bethlehem.
