Jesus Christ: God's Revelation to the World (Second Edition)
Chapter 6: A Child is Born
A Child is Born
Film Focus: In this video Chris Stefanick reflects on the Nativity of Jesus, and the radical claim that God became a baby in order to love and save the world.
Text Focus: Pages 187-188
Discussion Questions:
- What does Stefanick say is the central claim of Christianity? What is this claim based on, fact or a story?
- What kind of images do humans create for God? What characteristics does the “world-made” God have?
- In what ways does God reveal himself differently than how humans would choose? What are the characteristics of God’s love?
- What did Jesus, the God-made-man, come looking for in humanity?
