Read the First Presidency’s 2022 Christmas message

The First Presidency testifies this Christmas season of Jesus Christ and invites all to ‘Come unto Him. Learn of Him. Look to Him’

Following is the 2022 First Presidency Christmas message, released Nov. 25 and signed by President Russell M. NelsonPresident Dallin H. Oaks and President Henry B. Eyring:

This Christmas season, we invite you to find quiet moments to reflect on our Savior’s birth, life and atoning sacrifice. Come unto Him. Learn of Him. Look to Him for lasting peace and divine rest. In a world that often feels overwhelming and contentious, He offers peace that “passeth all understanding” (Philippians 4:7).

He has promised: “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; … and ye shall find rest unto your souls” (Matthew 11:28-29).

We testify that as you seek our Savior’s love, peace and rest, you will find it. You will be blessed to feel the true spirit of Christmas, the eternal joy that comes only from Him.
