Section 21

Joseph Smith was given authority from Jesus Christ to organize his church again on the earth.  This was done April 6, 1830.  This is also Christ's birthday!  Remember the Christmas story: The shepherds watched the sheep by night in the early spring.  They were watching for the birth of the lambs.  It was birthing season.  What a surprise for them when the angel came and told them that the Lamb of God was born!  Luke records:
9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
