Christmas Questions

In ten days, we will be celebrating the most significant holiday in history, the incarnation that gives hope to all. Most of us think we know the events leading up to and including the event and what took place after. If you got your information mostly from TV, Christmas songs and Christmas programs you may be surprised. So, today’s communique will be on a light side to test your knowledge with a few questions. These could be used with your children and or following Christmas dinner. You will need a bible in hand to check the answers from Luke 1-2. You could read Luke 1-2:21 before answering the questions.

Know This.

As followers of Jesus Christ, we like to dwell on the positive promises in scripture such as: eternal life, victory, God’s presence and so on. What we don’t want to be reminded of is the fact that we are hated by the unbelieving world and are at war with darkness. Why else would we sing: Onward Christian Soldiers, The Battle Belongs to the Lord, Lead on, O King Eternal or Faith is the Victory and many more?

Miracles and Criticism

Sunday, we saw the irony of two blind men calling Jesus the “Son of David.” They could not see Him yet they believed He was the long-awaited Messiah who would be known as the “Son of David” according to Isaiah 9:7. The blind men could see this even before Jesus’ disciples and religious leaders.
