The Spirit of Christmas, the Spirit of Christ

As Christmas comes closer, may we all come closer to Christ

BY: BYU-Pathway Communications

“The light we love at Christmas emanates from the Light of the World, Jesus Christ. The story we cherish at Christmas tells of our Father’s plan of happiness, which Christ made possible. The gift that makes the Christmas season sacred is His very life, which He gave that we might have everlasting life.”¹

Over this past year, BYU-Pathway has expanded and improved in countless ways, blessing thousands of students throughout the world.

And while this growth is exciting, it pales in comparison to the blessing of seeing BYU-Pathway students and missionaries continue to develop stronger personal relationships with our Savior, Jesus Christ.

We wish you a joyous Christmas season in which you feel the Lord’s love daily. We pray that the Christmas spirit — the Spirit of Christ — lingers in your heart year-round as you continue on your path, wherever it takes you.
