No Cause for Unbelief

In the Bible there is no record of a night without darkness at the time of Christ's birth and only a brief mention of the new star, seen by the Wise Men who followed it to the Christ child (see 3 Nephi 1:17).

Why did so many more people witness the signs of the Savior's birth in the New World? Samuel's words provide some explanation: "The angel said unto me that many shall see greater things than these, to the intent that they might believe that these signs and these wonders should come to pass upon all the face of this land, to the intent that there should be no cause for unbelief among the children of men" (Helaman 14:28; emphasis added).
