2022 Christmas Quiz

(3 Minute Read. 14Dec2022)

Seven hundred years before the birth of Jesus of Nazareth, the prophet Isaiah wrote these words:
For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
(Isaiah 9:6-7)

This radiant hope and promise from the Word of God is particularly meaningful in our desperate days of anxiety, trouble, and distress. At this season of celebrating the Savior’s birth, these words ring out His eventual triumph.

Here is my annual Christmas Quiz reminding us all of the One who was born to die. Below are 12 quiz questions about Christmas. Try the quiz first without using the Bible or the Internet. Answers with comments will appear in next week’s blog post,
