Christmas Special: Handel's Messiah

[@JJones.SideKick]

Dear beloved Brother Halverson...thank you for this gift of The Messiah, Halverson style. And merry Christmas to you and your precious family. Thank you for your gift of self throughout this year as we have been blessed by your knowledge, perspective, comprehension and compassion. I am so grateful for Covid, for it brought us you! Thank you for pointing us to our Savior and for helping us understand Him better. Thank you for sharing with us your testimony of Him and for helping us understand His word. What a gift you have been to so many. God bless you, my dear friend. Have a wonderful Christmas!

[@melissakimball8825]

Thank you for all the insights, truths and testimony you have shared with us all year. Because of studying with you, I better know the whole truthfulness and fullness of the gospel. This statement from you is currently in my bedroom wall to remind me: “If you have sufficient faith in Christ’s sufficient grace then you will have sufficient hope in your salvation and the salvation of those you love.” Thank you Brother Halverson!!

[@jerikeeley1361]

Oh, thank you! The perfect Christmas gift. Thank you for all of these opportunities to ponder the scriptures with the Spirit. I was there! My daughter took me to an "extra credit concert" for a class, with the teaser that they would be maybe be playing the Hallelujah Chorus (my favorite song). I didn't know that it was THIS CONCERT! I barely sang along, but my HEART ❤. It was such a great night and next year I'll be more prepared.

This is a beautiful verbal presentation of so many of the names of our Saviour, Jesus Christ...thank you Bro Halverson for sharing your thoughts...as always...this time based on Heavenly music.

[@stacirogers3662]

Almost 40 years ago, I sang Handel's Messiah, with my community college choir, as an alto. I cherish this memory. I learned more about all His names from your video. I wrote them down, along with a few of the scriptures you have shared and will ponder them in my heart. Thank you for giving me this gift for Christmas. May our Heavenly Father bless you and your family in the coming year. Merry Christmas Brother Halverson.

[@neilmalloch8658]

Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into these lessons. We have watched since your first episodes trying to get lessons to your students during Covid. Your lessons have been a blessing to my family , bringing us clarity and instruction as we study including your insights. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@laniwalburger2784]

I was blessed enough to spend the last couple of months rehearsing in the chorus and then our own private performance (actually the dress rehearsal, but no stopping) and then 2 public performances all with professional soloists and orchestra. A great experience.

[@mdupar]

I always want to be a better person when I listen to you. So thank you! And merry Christmas

[@mikeporter6952]

“Worthy is theLamb”!!💕 Thank you brother Halverson! Merry Christmas!❤️🎄❤️🎄

[@truerubal8877]

I love how you approached Hansel’s Messiah! Reviewing and explaining the songs and scripture, giving this music a deeper meaning and understanding. Thank you for sharing your time, effort and knowledge with us. Please thank your wife for sharing you with us as you prepare to present wealthy and humble teachings of our Savior. (I was a soloist singing I Know That My Redeemer Liveth; a very choice blessing and memory). Merry Christmas to you and your family. Looking forward to your teachings next year.

[@SueEvans-r9h]

And every knee shall Bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is the Christ🙏🙏I listen to Handels Messiah as loud as I can at this time of year and at others. Can’t sing hoping to still be in the choirs as we sing to our Lord.

[@sonakim6392]

Thank you. Handel's Messiah with The Holy Night are my very favorite Christmas music.

[@karenadamson2288]

I love this! Now I need to listen again and write down all the scriptures and titles of Jesus Christ. ❤😊❤

[@terrishields1757]

Thank you for your diligent teaching. My testimony has filled out and I feel more optimistic. BTW, I saw this quote: "Peace and justice are two sides of the same coin." - Dwight D. Eisenhower--This very much reminds me of mercy/justice as you have discussed. Thank you for your time and study. I look forward to future discussions...and am enjoying your past Come Follow Me discussions.

Love you Brother Halverson!!! And love your gospel insights ever since covid. I have been studying with you ever since. No surprise you love Handel's Messiah as I do. Thank you for today's discussion. I appreciate so much the reverence and spirit you bring to each to scripture. Especially when you went verse by verse! I know this is your mission/calling and many including me are blessed b/c of your sacrifice. May God continue to bless you and your family for your service and all those that support you. May God continue to watch over us all as we continue to watch for our Lord. Merry Christmas and Happy New New Year until Christ comes again! 🙏

This is brilliant! Thank you❤ if I can figure out how to download the transcript, I want to study a little portion every day… much like Pres Nelson’s suggestion to do a study on the names of the Savior. Thank you again, Merry Christmas!

[@wethepeople2206]

I am starting over in the Book of Mormon with the videos you made 4 years ago. The videos start with Jacob 4. Where do find 1 Nephi?...also your frist 5 minutes video was incredibly interesting on the day you recorded. I said WOW

[@kisserravnsrensen369]

Christmas and snow don’t belong together not even here in Denmark. 😉❤️🕊

[@dlynnanderson4474]

Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁

[@jlarryd]

Jared, I’m so grateful for you. I’m watching a series headed by Jordan Peterson on the Daily Wire about Exodus. It is a phenomenal panel of highly qualified people discussing it. I couldn’t help but think as I’ve listened “if only Dr Halverson could be part of this for all the world to hear, it would be a complete panel.” You may want to check it out, it is definitely something you would LOVE

[@rosalavelle5217]

Merry Christmas Feliz Navidad
