Alma 7:10-12

And behold, he shall be born of Mary, at Jerusalem which is the land of our forefathers, she being a virgin, a precious and chosen vessel, who shall be overshadowed and conceive by the power of the Holy Ghost, and bring forth a son, yea, even the Son of God.

And he shall go forth, suffering pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind; and this that the word might be fulfilled which saith he will take upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people.

And he will take upon him death, that he may loose the bands of death which bind his people; and he will take upon him their infirmities, that his bowels may be filled with mercy, according to the flesh, that he may know according to the flesh how to succor his people according to their infirmities.

Christmas is a time to do the will of the Father.

Have a set of tasks for everyone to do. (about 2 or 3 per person depending on the size of your family) They must do exactly what is said. E.g. (Walk 5 steps, hop 3 times and then smile for 20 seconds really really big! Click your heels 12 times while humming a Christmas carol.) Let your children choose something for you to do that they say.
When we listen, follow and do exactly what is said we show obedience.

Read 3 Nephi 27:13-14
" Behold I have given unto you my gospel, and this is the gospel which I have given unto you—that I came into the world to do the will of my Father, because my Father sent me.
And my Father sent me that I might be lifted up upon the cross; and after that I had been lifted up upon the cross, that I might draw all men unto me, that as I have been lifted up by men even so should men be lifted up by the Father, to stand before me, to be judged of their works, whether they be good or whether they be evil"

GAK 230

Show a favorite picture of Jesus. Jesus Christ showed the greatest example of obedience. What are some things we can do to show obedience, like Jesus, to Heavenly Father?
