How well do you know the Christmas story?

Try this quiz ...

1. Mary travelled to Bethlehem on a donkey.

2. Which Gospel mentions the innkeeper?

3. Jesus was born in a stable.

4. What's wrong with this picture.

5. After the angels appeared to the shepherds they sang their praises to God.

6.How did the Magi travel to Bethlehem?

7. How many Magi came to worship Jesus?

8. What's wrong with this nativity scene?

Once you take from the picture all those things that don't really belong:

The warm, softly illuminated stable.
The clean, sweet-smelling hay
The doe-eyed animals ...

What's left?

... the simple yet astonishing truth
that God became man so that man can know God.

The God who designed and created this world chose to become a man. He chose to share the fraility of our humanity and live as a servant in a sin ravaged world.
He came into the world to save sinners (1Tim 1 v 15) - sinners like us.

God as man, living a perfect life.
God as man, dying to bear the judgment that I deserve.

(Graham Kendrick)
