The Christmas Story Quiz

Have you ever taken the Christmas Story Quiz? I received it in my inbox again this year and wanted to share my favorite Q&A's from the quiz! It brings to me all the majesticness of the night Jesus was born! Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Question:
18. Where do we find the Christmas story?
A. Matthew
B. Mark
C. Luke
D. John
E. All of the above
F. Only A and B
G. Only A and C
H. Only A, B, and C

Answer:
G. Isn't it amazing how God divinely inspired these two gospel writers to write His exact words, but, yet, He used their interests and professions to recall different aspects of Jesus' birth. Matthew, a tax collector, records the genealogy of Jesus (used for taxation) and the story of the "magi" - men of means from a foreign country. Luke, a physician, records the pregnancy and birth. {Luke 1 and 2}

Question:
7. How many angels spoke to the shepherds? {Luke 2:10}
A. One
B. Three
C. Multitude
D. None of the above

Answer:
A. Luke 2:10 "The angel of the Lord said unto them "Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people"."

Question:
8. What did the angels say/sing? {Luke 2:14}
A. "Glory to God in the highest, etc."
B. "Alleluia"
C. "Unto us a child is born, Unto us a son is given"
D. "Joy the world, the Lord is come"

Answer:
A. Luke 2:14 "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace good will toward man."

Question:
9. What is a heavenly host?
A. The angel at the gate of heaven
B. The angel who serves refreshments in heaven
C. An angel choir
D. An angel army
E. None of the above

Answer:
D. The word means "army" - literally thousands. Now, since there was a "multitude" of the heavenly army (hosts), there could easily have been from 10,000 - 100,000 angels there that night! No wonder the shepherds were "sore afraid"!
