If you haven’t read about our Christmas Countdown book, take a minute to do so here!

I have linked to all the resources to help you design your own Christmas Countdown book. You can follow all the links each day, or simply print the pages for free from these websites, for your own personal use.

Start using your Christmas Countdown Book on December 1st. There will be a different subject for each day until Christmas Day, December 25th. The purpose of this Christmas Countdown Book is to help you remember and focus on Jesus Christ during the Christmas season!

Picture

This is a great picture to include in your binder. I purchased the Gospel Art Book and included the Heinrich Hofmann picture of Christ in our binder. It is one of my favorite pieces of art of the Savior, but didn’t want to get in trouble posting it here because of copyrights!

Scripture

The first and last paragraphs of The Living Christ: The Testimony of the Apostles.

“As we commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ two millennia ago, we offer our testimony of the reality of His matchless life and the infinite virtue of His great atoning sacrifice. None other has had so profound an influence upon all who have lived and will yet live upon the earth.

We bear testimony, as His duly ordained Apostles—that Jesus is the Living Christ, the immortal Son of God. He is the great King Immanuel, who stands today on the right hand of His Father. He is the light, the life, and the hope of the world. His way is the path that leads to happiness in this life and eternal life in the world to come. God be thanked for the matchless gift of His divine Son.”

Song

I Believe in Christ–Hymn 134

1. I believe in Christ; he is my King!
With all my heart to him I’ll sing;
I’ll raise my voice in praise and joy,
In grand amens my tongue employ.
I believe in Christ; he is God’s Son.
On earth to dwell his soul did come.
He healed the sick; the dead he raised.
Good works were his; his name be praised.

2. I believe in Christ; oh blessed name!

As Mary’s Son he came to reign

‘Mid mortal men, his earthly kin,

To save them from the woes of sin.

I believe in Christ, who marked the path,

Who did gain all his Father hath,

Who said to men: “Come, follow me,

That ye, my friends, with God may be.

3. I believe in Christ–my Lord, my God!

My feet he plants on gospel sod.

I’ll worship him with all my might;

He is the source of truth and light.
