One of my favorite authors is Max Lucado. On top of being an accomplished pastor, he is also an accomplished author that writes easy to read and relevant devotional books. One of my all-time favorites is his book entitled "God Came Near: Chronicles of The Christ." In that book one of the chapters he poses questions that he might ask Mary, the mother of Jesus. From that article I have adapted my own list of questions that I would ask both Mary and Joseph. Here they are:
What was it like to correct him?
Was he any good at woodworking?
Joseph, why did you stay and raise a child that biologically wasn't yours?
Did Jesus go through the terrible twos? (I have a two-year-old and could use some advice)
Did Jesus have any close friends?
Did he ever get hurt? How did you make him feel better?
What was his favorite food to eat?
Did you ever want to ask him about how he and made the universe?
Too often at this time of year we lift Jesus up on a pedestal not realizing that while he was fully divine he was also fully human. I hope is you celebrate this Christmas you will keep that in mind.
BTW-What questions would you add?
