Christmas time always gives us an opportunity to reflect on what Christ has done for us. He atoned for our faults and gave us a reason to change and become who we are meant to be. I know that without the power of the priesthood, I personally wouldn't be here today, I probably wouldn't have lived more than a few hours, but luckily, I was blessed with the priesthood from the beginning of my life. Because of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, I've seen people change their lives for the better and really embrace the atoning power of Christ in their lives. I personally have seen the change in my life as well, I truly love the gospel and I'm extremely grateful that because of the honest and sincere humble prayer of a fourteen year old boy in the 1800's, millions of lives have truly been changed for the better and we have the potential to live with our heavenly father once again, but most of all, I'm grateful for the atoning sacrifice of our savior Jesus Christ, he truly lived a perfect life and gave his life as an unblemished sacrifice for our sins. I know through his redeeming grace, we can become like him. I love him and I am forever in his debt.
