1/3/26 Answers for Skeptics 1970
What do you say to someone asks, “How do you know God exists?” How is Christianity different from other religions? Did other religious leaders do miracles like Jesus did? Tom Short, the author of “5 Crucial Questions About Christianity,” says Christianity is a THINKING person’s religion that has a basis in logic that answers to the toughest questions. Inadequately trained students are easily persuaded by secular teachers to give up their Christian beliefs. When asked, “Was Hitler evil?” Students said, “We can’t judge him since he doesn’t fit into our social constraints.” This generation has been taught not to make moral judgments.

The greatest event in all history was that the Creator of the universe became a baby, the man Jesus. It’s amazing that the God who created everything came to earth as a single cell, says famed actor Bruce Marchiano. Pastor Francis Chan, author of Crazy Love, gives an impassioned Christmas message exclaiming how God emptied himself and left heaven to become a man! If you want to know what God is like, look at Jesus! Jesus shows that God isn’t angry but loving, patient and kind. When a primitive tribe first heard the gospel and how God had forgiven them of all sins, they leaped for joy and celebrated for hours.

No matter how many people try to lump Christmas into a generic ‘happy holiday’, there’s a different spirit in the Christmas season than any other holiday. Beyond the gifts, friends and family, music, why celebrate Christmas? Renowned author, Max Lucado, author of 3:16 – The Numbers of Hope, says people get excited about learning of God’s love for them. Everything about the life of Jesus is his giving to others. Jesus came to give and serve. Then He gave us His life. Jesus went from holding the stars in His hands to clutching Mary’s little finger. Why did He come to earth?
