“Unto Us a Son Is Given,” Ensign, Dec. 2005, 40–45
Unto Us a Son Is Given
Anciently, Isaiah prophesied of the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ when he wrote, “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace” (Isa. 9:6).
In Book of Mormon times, King Benjamin prophesied of Christ when he taught: “The Lord Omnipotent who reigneth … shall dwell in a tabernacle of clay, and shall go forth amongst men, working mighty miracles. …
“And he shall be called Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Father of heaven and earth, the Creator of all things from the beginning; and his mother shall be called Mary” (Mosiah 3:5, 8).
