This Months message: The Divine Mission of Jesus Christ: The Only Begotten Son (Ensign, Dec., 2013) Our Savior, Jesus Christ, is called the Only Begotten Son because He is the only person on earth to be born of a mortal mother and an immortal Father. He inherited divine powers from God, His Father. From His mother, Mary, He inherited mortality and was subject to hunger, thirst, fatigue, pain, and death. Because Jesus Christ is the Only Begotten of the Father, He was able to lay down His life and take it up again. The scriptures teach that through the atonement of Christ, we obtain a resurrection (Jacob 4:11). We also learn that all might be raised in immortality unto eternal life if we would believe (D&C 29:43). As we come to understand more fully what it means for Jesus to be the Only Begotten Son of the Father, our faith in Christ will increase. Elder D. Todd Christofferson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles said, Faith in Jesus Christ is the conviction and assurance of (1) His status as the Only Begotten Son of God, (2) His infinite Atonement, and (3) His literal Resurrection. Modern prophets have testified: [Jesus Christ] was ! the Only Begotten Son in the flesh, the Redeemer of the world.

Presidency Message
There is no better time than now, this very Christmas season, for all of us to rededicate ourselves to the principles taught by Jesus Christ. Because He came to earth, we have a perfect example to follow. As we strive to become more like Him, we will have joy and happiness in our lives and peace each day of the year. It is His example which, if followed, stirs within us more kindness and love, more respect and concern for others. Because He came, there is meaning to our mortal existence. Because He came, we know how to reach out to those in trouble or distress, wherever they may be. Because He came, death has lost its sting, the grave its victory. We will live again because He came. Because He came and paid for our sins, we have the opportunity to gain eternal life. Because He came, we are gathered tonight to worship Him, in bonds of brotherhood and love. May His precious Spirit be with us, and may He ever be the center of our celebrations and indeed of our very lives. ~President Thomas S. Monson
(First Presidency Christmas Devotional, 2011)

How silently, how silently, The wondrous gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of his heaven. No ear may hear his coming; But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive him, still The dear Christ enters in.
(Oh Little Town of Bethlehem, text by Phillips Brooks)

The 10 Ward Relief Society Theme for 2013 is: Drawing Closer to Christ. D&C 88:63 Draw near unto me and I will draw near unto you; seek me diligently and ye shall find me; ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. Elder Bernard P. Brockbank called this process of asking, seeking, and knocking a God-given formula on how to reach and know your Heavenly Father and your Savior, Jesus Christ (Be Worthy of Celestial Exaltation, in Speeches of the Year, 1974 [Provo:
Brigham Young University Press, 1975], pp. 37879).
