It was apropos today that Christmas is on a Tuesday and I am currently studying the last Tuesday of our Savior's ministry prior to the atonement. Matthew 23:37-39 reads:
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them
which are sent unto thee, how often would I haved gathered thy children together, even as a
hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me
henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name
of the Lord.
I see much likeness in the gathering of the family for Christmas and the gathering of the family for the eternity.
Why gather? To receive blessings!
