I love the response Mary gives to Elisabeth after she hears of the news from the angel and then travels to see her cousin (found in Luke 1:46-55): she testifies of the Savior, who was at the time inside of her, by referencing several old testament prophets. The LDS footnotes on those verses cite 1 Samuel, Psalms (4 times), Isaiah, Ezekiel, and Micah.
I love thinking about how the teenage Mary hungrily went to the scriptures to learn and study all she could about the Promised Messiah in her womb. She must have had great insight to the prophecies of the Christ child. Let's follow her example this Christmas by searching the scriptures to learn more about the Savior who has already come, and who will come again!
