Behold, I am he who was prepared from the foundation of the world to redeem my people. Behold, I am Jesus Christ. I am the Father and the Son. In me shall all mankind have life, and that eternally, even they who shall believe on my name; and they shall become my sons and my daughters. — Ether 3:14

President Ezra Taft Benson said during the First Presidency Christmas Devotional on Dec. 1, 1985:

" 'I would commend you,' " he said, quoting Moroni who wrote, " 'seek this Jesus of whom the prophets and apostles have written. ' (Ether 12:41.) . . . God has provided the means — the holy scriptures, particularly the Book of Mormon — that all who seek may know that Jesus is the Christ."
