I love studying about the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. To me it is one of the most spiritual topics to study because it reminds me that although our Savior is perfect and almighty, he is also the most humble of all. He was born in a stable and was raised without luxuries of the world but remained focused on his mission every step of the way. While studying about Mary and Joseph in Luke, something struck me about the humility of Joseph that I had never noticed before. When he found out that Mary was pregnant, instead of treating her with disgust or anger, he chose to be a law abiding citizen and tell, but he didn't want it to be public and he wanted to protect her even though I'm sure the situation initially did not make any sense to him. Throughout the rest of the Savior's upbringing, he remained good teacher and father to Christ and always remained in the backlight, never demanding recognition for what he did. His example reminded me of other humble heroes from the scriptures such as Sam, the brother of Nephi, Hyrum Smith, Shiblon, and many more. All men who loved their God and desired to serve him, whether that meant receiving glory or not. I am inspired to humble myself, and give my all to the Lord so that I can stand blameless before him, even if the world will never know what I have done. In the bible dictionary, Satin as the father of lies and the enemy of all righteousness and his main purpose in this life is to keep us from achieving exaltation. This thought can be scary because Satin is powerful and we are so imperfect as humans, but as we read under Baptisim in the bible dictionary, all of our fears can be put to ease. It sttes, "Baptism s a most sacred ordinance, which a person, having received it, can remember throughout life as a reminder of the personal commitment to Jesus Christ. It's symbolism is beautiful and its consequences ever so desirable." The chance to become clean through Christ is available to all of us and the peace and assurance that He is with me at all times has brought me light an happiness in the darkest situations.
