A Christmas Message from the Prophet: Spread the Light of Jesus Christ

“We need men and women who reflect [Christ’s] light by being peacemakers willing to reason with others rather than to contend with them,” President Nelson says

In a new Christmas video from President Russell M. Nelson of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the prophet encourages people everywhere to share the light of Jesus Christ through acts of kindness and compassion.

“As we commemorate the birth of Him who is the light of the world, new light is kindled in each of us,” President Nelson says in the video published December 18, 2022. “Today, we need His light — the light of Jesus Christ — more than ever. We need men and women who reflect His light by being peacemakers willing to reason with others rather than to contend with them. … As we follow Jesus Christ, we can make this a better world.”
