Alma 7:10-12

And behold, he shall be born of Mary, at Jerusalem which is the land of our forefathers, she being a virgin, a precious and chosen vessel, who shall be overshadowed and conceive by the power of the Holy Ghost, and bring forth a son, yea, even the Son of God.

And he shall go forth, suffering pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind; and this that the word might be fulfilled which saith he will take upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people.

And he will take upon him death, that he may loose the bands of death which bind his people; and he will take upon him their infirmities, that his bowels may be filled with mercy, according to the flesh, that he may know according to the flesh how to succor his people according to their infirmities.

Elder Andersen asks, "Have our children felt the power of the Savior's miracles? Jesus healed the leper, gave sight to the blind. He fed the 5,000, calmed the sea, and raised Lazarus from the dead. Do our children believe that "it is by faith that miracles are wrought," and do they pray for miracles in their own life?"

Start with opening prayer. Sing The Miracle found in “Christmas Carols,” Ensign, Dec. 1973, 10.

Almost every part of Jesus' life was a miracle, including His earthly beginning we are currently celebrating!
Review some of the miracles of His life by playing miracle charades. Some stories to act out could include:
healing the leper
giving sight to the blind
feeding 5,000
calming the sea
withers a barren fig tree
raising Lazarus from the dead
casting out devils
walking on water
turning water into wine

Memorize the following scripture, Moroni 7:37 "...For it is by faith that miracles are wrought..." Make a family sign to put on the refrigerator of this scripture -everyone can decorate with pictures of Jesus' miracles!
