Jesus Christ-Savior and Redeemer of the World

This post is to cover multiple authors along with the true meaning of Christmas and the two most important books we can read. At this time of year we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ-the Son of God who came to save us all.
Christ made it possible for all of us to be resurrected and provided us with the plan of salvation by which we can return to live with Him and Our Father in Heaven.
Jesus Christ by Carl Heinrich Bloch (detail from Christ with Boy)



Next I would submit that the two most important books we can read in a lifetime are The Book of Mormon and the Bible (but I would suggest reading more books in addition to these two such as The Pearl of Great Price, The Doctrine and Covenants and other great works both secular and religious). One can read the story of Jesus Christ in many books with some variations but for the holiday season I especially like the following four chapters:
Luke Ch. 1 and 2
Third Nephi Ch. 1 and 11

May everyone have a Merry Christmas and feel peace and joy in their hearts through the Atonement of Jesus Christ and the power of His Love from our family to yours.
