12 DAYS of CHRIST - Day 9 Jesus is the Bread of Life
Holy Bible John 6
35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
48 I am that bread of life.
49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

12 DAYS of CHRIST - Day 7 The Only True God
Article of Faith 1
We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland in Oct. 2007 General Conference "THE ONLY TRUE GOD AND JESUS CHRIST WHOM HE HATH SENT"
"I testify that Jesus Christ is the literal, living Son of our literal, living God. This Jesus is our Savior and Redeemer who, under the guidance of the Father, was the Creator of heaven and earth and all things that in them are. I bear witness that He was born of a virgin mother, that in His lifetime He performed mighty miracles observed by legions of His disciples and by His enemies as well. I testify that He had power over death because He was divine but that He willingly subjected Himself to death for our sake because for a period of time He was also mortal. I declare that in His willing submission to death He took upon Himself the sins of the world, paying an infinite price for every sorrow and sickness, every heartache and unhappiness from Adam to the end of the world. In doing so He conquered both the grave physically and hell spiritually and set the human family free. I bear witness that He was literally resurrected from the tomb and, after ascending to His Father to complete the process of that Resurrection, He appeared, repeatedly, to hundreds of disciples in the Old World and in the New. I know He is the Holy One of Israel, the Messiah who will one day come again in final glory, to reign on earth as Lord of lords and King of kings. I know that there is no other name given under heaven whereby a man can be saved and that only by relying wholly upon His merits, mercy, and everlasting grace19 can we gain eternal life."

12 DAYS of CHRIST - DAY 6 Christ's Atonement
Book of Mormon - 2 Nephi 2:6 "Wherefore, redemption cometh in and through the Holy Messiah; for he is full of grace and truth."
I know that my Redeemer lives! I know Christ is real, that He is our advocate with the Father. I know as we repent and come unto Him, that He gathers us in His loving arms and forgives our sins, carries our burdens and heals our hearts.
