President Cordon taught how we can receive the gift that is the Savior of the world, Jesus Christ.

The humble shepherds of Luke 2 who “came with haste” to the Christ child show the value of promptly responding to God’s invitation to follow His Son, she said.

“Many times, our still, small impressions from the Lord may not be received because they do not fit cleanly into our calendars, our plans or our timing,” President Cordon said. “The Christmas story reminds us to be like these devoted shepherds who did not delay doing what was needed to come to Him and receive their King.”

The wise men of Matthew 2, she added, watched for the signs of the coming of Christ for many years. They sacrificed and endured much to find the King of Kings.

“We can trust in Him even amid sometimes overwhelming circumstances,” she said. “The guidance, even miracles, that come into our lives will probably not be in the hustle and bustle, nor on stages or in stadiums, but in the quiet places where we live and work ― where we go for help. Wherever our humble needs arise, we can and will receive answers to our whispered prayers.”
