24 And truth is knowledge of things as they are, and as they were, and as they are to come;


“Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” (Winston Churchill, speech to the British House of Commons)

Sunday School 

“Brothers and sisters, the scriptures offer us so many doctrinal diamonds. And when the light of the Spirit plays upon their several facets, they sparkle with celestial sense and illuminate the path we are to follow.” (Elder Neal A. Maxwell, “‘According to the Desire of [Our] Hearts’”, October 1996 General Conference)


Several people were called to witness of Christ. Some were for their followers and some were to instruct Mary and Joseph and give them things to think about as they raised him. 


The wise men showed up after Jesus was a child. They showed with expensive gifts. This must've been astonishing to Mary and Joseph. 


“The formula for finding Jesus has always been and ever will be the same—the earnest and sincere prayer of a humble and pure heart. The Lord told the prophet Jeremiah, “Ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart” (Jer. 29:13).” (President Thomas S. Monson, “The Search for Jesus”, December 2003 New Era)


Being led captive by the devil can be through bad habits and addictions.
