Intro Week: Others Who Learned About the Birth of Jesus Christ

I was studying the different ways of how certain people learned about the birth of Christ.  My reading included Luke chapters 1 and 2, Matthew chapter 2 and 3 Nephi chapter 1.
The people that I read about were Elisabeth, the shepherds, Simeon, Anna, the Wise Men, Herod, his Chief Priests, and the Nephites.  As I read all the accounts, I realized that they received their knowledge about Christ in similar ways that we still do today.  I'm not talking about the star, but that some of us have read about it in the scriptures like Herod's Chief Priests did.  Some found out through others, as Herod learned from his priests.  Others may have had it revealed unto them either by revelation or by the Holy Ghost testifying of it unto us.
When I come to think of it, I learned through more than one of those ways.  I gained knowledge from the scriptures and prophets.  I also knew it was true because I felt Holy Spirit telling me that it did happen.  What I know about the Savior from the scriptures and everything else is that He did come to this Earth, preached unto the Jews, was rejected by is own people, and that He suffered for our sins.  I know that He has given us the not only the chance, but the choice to repent and become clean again.  We have a second chance.  I know that He is the Messiah, our Redeemer, and our Savior and our brother.  I also know that He has an endless amount of love for us.  I will share my knowledge with others as well as add to what I know so far.  I will never know everything about our Lord and His gospel, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't try to learn as much as I can in this life.
