Dec 12:What Christmas would be complete with a bow or two for decoration or on the presents under the tree. Bows are another common sight at Christmas and just like everything else we have talked about is a symbol of Christmas. Bows are the symbol and reminder that we need to tie ourselves together in the gospel and to Christ. Cause when you are tied to Christ.
"Let us turn again to the Book of Mormon, this time to learn some principles about coming unto Christ, being committed to Him, centered in Him, and consumed in Him. We will quote but a few of the numerous passages on the matter.
First we need to know that Christ invites us to come unto Him. “Behold, he sendeth an invitation unto all men, for the arms of mercy are extended towards them, … Yea, he saith: Come unto me and ye shall partake of the fruit of the tree of life” (Alma 5:33–34).
Come, for he stands “with open arms to receive you” (Morm. 6:17).
Come, for “he will console you in your afflictions, and he will plead your cause” (Jacob 3:1).
“Come unto him, and offer your whole souls as an offering unto him” (Omni 1:26)."
-President Ezra Taft Benson October 1987 general conference talk-
