Sunday School Quiz – Christmas Lesson week 2

#1 Which of the statements about the Lord Jesus is true?

He is truly God, as well as truly man

He never sinned, or did anything wrong

He is eternal (He always lived, and will always live forever)

All of these

All of these. Jesus looked like one of us when He lived on earth, but He is truly God. He is the only one who has ever lived, to be perfect. And He is eternal – He has no beginning, and no end.

#2 When the wise men came to visit Jesus, they brought gifts, including gold. Why did they bring gold?

Gold is for kings, and Jesus is the King of kings

Jesus was going to be very rich

They had loads and needed to get rid of some

Jesus was going to be very poor, all through His life. But He is King of all the earth!

#3 The wise men also brought myrrh – why?

They thought Mary would like a gift with a lovely smell.

Myrrh is used at the time of burial. The wise men knew that Jesus came to die for the sins of His people.

It was common where they were from, but very valuable in Israel where Jesus was born.

Even at the time Jesus was born, true Christians were looking forward to the time that, as promised, Jesus would die for His people.

#4 Herod asked the wise men to tell him where Jesus was. Why did he want to know?

He wanted to worship Jesus.

He wanted to kill Jesus.

He wanted to bring presents too.

He knew Jesus was to be King – this made Herod jealous and afraid, and he wanted to kill Jesus. But the wise men were warned by God not to tell Herod anything.

#5 What did the shepherds do, after the angels came to tell them about the Lord Jesus?

They did not believe what the angels said, and they stayed with their sheep.

They thought, ‘tomorrow will do’.

They got up straight away, and went to find the Lord Jesus.

They believed the angels, and were so amazed and happy that they got up straight away – they could not wait to see the Lord Jesus for themselves.

#6 Why did the shepherds rejoice when they saw the Lord Jesus?

They knew that this was the Saviour who would take away the sins of the world.

God had kept His promise! The Saviour had been promised since the beginning of the world.

The coming of the Lord Jesus proved that God loved the world.

All of these

All of these (and more!). The shepherds knew that this was no ordinary baby, but the Lord Himself, come down from heaven to save us.

#7 When we hear about the birth of the Lord Jesus in Bethlehem I should:

Repent of all my sin, and ask Him to be MY Saviour.

Forget about the Lord, and enjoy all my presents.

Put it off until we are older.

We should repent today, and ask Him to be my Saviour. Our nice presents don’t last for ever (they may not last very long at all!). But if we put our trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, He will save us, and will be a wonderful Friend for ever.
