Excerpt from December 1990 Ensign
Article Title: Twelve Witnesses of Christ's Birth
By: Joseph Fielding McConkie
As Christ was, by birth, the rightful heir to David’s kingdom, so John was born the rightful heir of the office of Elias. He appropriately began his ministry, to “go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways,” by leaping for joy while yet within his mother’s womb. (Luke 1:41, 76; see also Luke 1:15.)
What a marvelous event it must have been: John leaping for joy; Elisabeth greeting her cousin Mary in the spirit of prophecy; and Mary responding by that same spirit. Again, we note how wondrously the witnesses and testimonies fit together: the testimonies of two women—the aged Elisabeth and the youthful Mary—each bearing a child conceived under miraculous circumstances. They, and even the unborn John, all rejoice in the great event about to take place.
