Ever wondered why Christmas is in December? "Modern revelation seems to suggest that Jesus was born on April 6 (see D&C 20:1), a proposition that has been widely supported and explained in LDS teaching since." - How Christmas Came to Be on December 25 buff.ly/2OUFZM1
"Matthew uses the term magoi for the special visitors who come to the child Jesus bearing gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh." - How the Wise Men Became Kings buff.ly/367WhXH
"Little is known about the Wise Men. The Gospel of Matthew says they came from somewhere east of Jerusalem." - Why Did the Wise Men Give Gifts of Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh? buff.ly/2Yj26yE
"Although it is possible that the Wise Men came from Mesopotamia as Zoroastrians or from points even farther east, the early Christian writer Justin Martyr said that they came from Arabia, closer to the Judean homeland."-The Wise Men & Their Priestly Gifts buff.ly/38dFowK
"A common way of commemorating the scene of Jesus’ birth is to set up a Nativity scene, also known as a crèche, from the Old French word for manger or crib." - The Christmas Crèche. Learn more about Christ's living situation as a baby with this article. buff.ly/367nOIS
"Luke’s Infancy Narrative evokes the Old Testament in many ways." - Old Testament Figures, New Testament Saints: How Luke evokes the Old Testament. Learn more about how he does that with this article. buff.ly/35YrRai
Ever wondered this? "What on earth were swaddling clothes, and why would Luke have bothered to include this detail in his account of the birth of Jesus?" - What on Earth are Swaddling Clothes? buff.ly/33QPvUD
"The Christmas stories of Matthew and Luke are very different. They tell us different things." - Are the Christmas stories in Matthew and Luke reconcilable? buff.ly/2RpbLlS
"At first glance, the scene pictured in Luke 2:8 seems unusual: 'Shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.'" - Why were the shepherds in the field at night when the angel came? buff.ly/34WR7xm
Curious about how the Christ child was found? "After the angel appeared to the shepherds, they “came with haste” to Bethlehem and “found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger” (Luke 2:16). " - How did the shepherds find the Christ child? buff.ly/2sJv1Ag
"The fact that the Babe of Bethlehem was far more than a simple baby is made clear by the messianic titles ascribed to him in the prophetic description of Isaiah 9:6."-Titles of the Messiah from Isaiah 9:6 buff.ly/2PtWApd
"Although 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men' has become one of the best known Christmas wishes, the difference of a single letter in some Greek manuscripts produces different possible meanings." - Peace on Earth—To Whom? buff.ly/2LlEQej
Here is the resource for the countdown today! "The term translated “inn” (Luke 2:7) is the same as that translated “guestchamber” in Luke 22:11 (Greek katalyma)." - What do we know about the inn at Bethlehem? buff.ly/383W3Tj
Here is the final part of the chronicles of Mary and Joseph. "Matthew’s Gospel guides us into the events that follow Joseph’s and Mary’s visit to the Jerusalem temple." - The Chronicles of Mary and Joseph: part 4 of 4, Bethlehem and Beyond buff.ly/2Ls4ez7
Here is Part 3 of the story of Mary and Joseph. "As with Mary’s trip to Elisabeth’s home months before, for safety Mary and Joseph travel in the company of others." - The Chronicles of Mary and Joseph: Part 3 of 4, Joseph and Mary buff.ly/2qn3Pqc
In Rev 10:6, the New Rendition replaces "There should be time no longer" with "that there will be no further delay." there should be time no longer/that there will be no further delay: The phrase chronos ouketi estai does not mean that time will stop. buff.ly/2LGiZOR
We are continuing the countdown with Part 2 of Mary and Joseph. "The earliest recorded prophecy that points to Mary and her son arises in Isaiah’s book." - The Chronicles of Mary and Joseph: Part 2 of 4, Mary buff.ly/33UB4Pg
"One of the puzzling dimensions of Luke’s story of Mary & Joseph has to do with the presence of families from the south of the country,... from Bethlehem, that have located in the north,... in the small town of Nazareth." - The Chronicles of Mary & Joseph: buff.ly/2sOmmwB
We are featuring double the resources for today's countdown! Teaching Matthew’s Genealogy (Matt. 1) & Luke’s Different Genealogy both discuss the genealogy of Christ, however, they use this information in different ways. buff.ly/33KvIGh buff.ly/2YmBdK9
We are on day 4 of our Christmas countdown. "Luke 1:26 says that in “the sixth month” Gabriel visits Mary, and this time, presumably, is also the time of Mary’s conception." - What do we know about “the sixth month” in the Infancy story? buff.ly/2ORmMei
