Frequently Asked Questions

Why do we celebrate Christmas on December 25th if the Bible doesn't specify the exact date of Jesus's birth?+

The Bible does not mention December 25th as Jesus's birth date. The early church selected December 25th as a traditional celebration date, possibly aligning with existing winter festivals. Christians commemorate Jesus's birth on Christmas to remember and celebrate the incarnation of Christ, regardless of the historical accuracy of the specific date.

Are the accounts in Matthew and Luke about Jesus's birth contradictory?+

Matthew and Luke's nativity accounts emphasize different aspects and details while being compatible. Matthew focuses on the wise men and includes genealogy, while Luke emphasizes the shepherds and Mary's perspective. Both accounts affirm that Jesus was born in Bethlehem to Mary and Joseph, with the differences reflecting each Gospel writer's purpose and audience.

What does the nativity story teach us about Jesus?+

The nativity story reveals Jesus's humble beginnings, God's involvement in human history through the incarnation, and themes of salvation and hope. It shows Jesus's identification with humanity despite his divine nature, and demonstrates God's faithfulness to Old Testament prophecies about the Messiah's birth in Bethlehem.
