記錄心得感想(04-15)
4Why does the birth of a baby bring such great joy?
4嬰孩的誕生為何能帶來如此大的喜悅？
5Perhaps because a new baby can be a symbol of hope.
5或許因為新生兒是希望的象徵。
6There’s something about a brand-new life full of possibilities that invites us to ponder what life might hold for that child and what wonderful things he or she will accomplish.
6一個嶄新的生命總是充滿了許多的可能性，讓我們不禁想到這個孩子未來的人生會有哪些事等待著他，而他又會完成哪些美好的事。
7Never has this been truer than at the birth of the Son of God, Jesus Christ.
7這對神的兒子耶穌基督的降生而言，再也沒有比這更真實的了。
8Never has there been more hope placed in a child, and never has there been one born with so much promise.
8從來沒有任何一個嬰孩被寄予如此的厚望，也沒有任何一個人的出生帶著如此多的應許。
9When an angel invited shepherds to seek a newborn child in a manger, he also gave them a message about that child.
9當天使請牧羊人去尋找在馬槽裡剛出生的嬰孩時，他也給他們與這嬰孩有關的信息。
10It was a message of hope—that this baby had come to earth to fulfill a sacred mission.
10這是關乎希望的信息——這名嬰孩來到世上，是為了履行神聖的使命。
11The shepherds made their message “known abroad … and all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
11牧羊人將這信息「傳開了……凡聽見的，就詫異牧羊之人對他們所說的話。
12But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart” (Luke 2:17–19).
12馬利亞卻把這一切的事存在心裡，反覆思想」（路加福音2：17-19）。
13Perhaps it would be good to follow Mary’s example this Christmas: to ponder in your heart the things you have learned about the Savior this year.
13或許，今年聖誕節跟從馬利亞的榜樣會是一件好事：今年，在心中反覆思想你所學到關於救主的事。
14How did He fulfill His mission of redemption in the accounts you have read?
14在你所讀到的記載中，祂是如何完成贖罪的使命的？
15And more important, how has His mission changed your life?
15還有更重要的是，祂的使命如何改變了你的生命？
個人經文研讀的建議：耶穌基督紆尊降貴，來到世上，出生在我們之中。(16-25)
16Even if you have read or heard the story of the birth of Jesus Christ many times before, study it this time with this thought in mind: “Christmas is not only a celebration of how Jesus came into the world but also of knowing who He is—our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ—and of why He came”.
16雖然你過去曾讀過、聽過許多次耶穌基督誕生的故事，但這次研讀時，請在心中存著這樣的想法：「聖誕節不只在慶祝耶穌如何來到世上，也在慶祝我們知道祂是誰——是我們的主和救主，是耶穌基督——，以及祂那時為什麼要來」。

18What do you know about who Jesus Christ was before He was born?
18你對耶穌基督出生前的身份有什麼了解？
19(see, for example, John 17:5; Mosiah 3:5; D&C 76:13–14, 20–24; Moses 4:2).
19（例見約翰福音17：5；摩賽亞書3：5；教約76：13-14，20-24；摩西書4：2。）
20How does this knowledge affect the way you feel when you read about His birth?
20這樣的知識如何影響你在閱讀祂降生紀錄時對祂的感受？
21What do you know about why Jesus Christ came to earth?
21你對耶穌基督為何來到世上有什麼了解？
22(see, for example, Luke 4:16–21; John 3:16–17; 3 Nephi 27:13–16; D&C 20:20–28).
22（例見路加福音4：16-21；約翰福音3：16-17；尼腓三書27：13-16；教約20：20-28。）

25See also 2 Corinthians 8:9; Hebrews 2:7–18; 1 Nephi 11:13–33; Alma 7:10–13; “The Nativity” (video, LDS.org).

耶穌基督完成了祂的使命，讓我得以繼承永生。(26-35)
26Although the story of Christ’s birth was surrounded by miraculous events, His would be just another birth if it weren’t for the great work that He accomplished later in His life.
26雖然基督誕生的故事圍繞著許多奇蹟，但如果祂後來在世上沒有完成這偉大的事工，那麼祂的誕生就只不過和另一個平凡人的出生一樣。
27As President Gordon B. Hinckley put it, “The babe Jesus of Bethlehem would be but another baby without the redeeming Christ of Gethsemane and Calvary, and the triumphant fact of the Resurrection”.
27戈登·興格萊會長說：「若沒有在客西馬尼園和髑髏地山救贖的基督，就沒有復活勝利的事實，那麼在伯利恆的嬰孩耶穌就只不過是另一個平凡的嬰孩」。
