      Case for Christ for Kids - Lee Strobel

      Introduction:

      WHAT’S UP WITH THAT?

      Somewhere you took a wrong turn.

      This is just the kind of street Mom and Dad warned you to avoid. Run-down apartment buildings line both sides of the road and the sidewalk is cluttered with garbage. Dirty faces leer at you from the darkness.

      You need to be home soon, but who can help you? One friendly face emerges from the shadows. She’s a young girl—about your age. She smiles and says her name is Lydia Delgado. She tells you how to get back to your neighborhood.

      You think about Lydia later, and ask your mom if you can go back to thank her. Only if I go with you, says Mom. So you climb into the car and track down Lydia and her family. There are only two others: a thirteen-year-old sister, Jenny, and their grandmother, Perfecta. The two sisters have no parents.

      What’s more, they live in an empty little room with no furniture, no food, and no warmth. Lydia and Jenny take turns wearing one sweater as they walk to school. That makes you and Mom sad, but the three women who live there seem to be full of smiles.

      Your mom has a friend who writes for the newspaper. She tells her the story of the Delgado family and says, Write an article! Your readers need to know about our poor neighbors who need food and shelter.

      Christmas Day arrives. You open your gifts and enjoy a scrumptious turkey dinner. But after dinner, your family decides to pay the Delgados a visit. You have gifts for them and extra turkey and vegetables. So again, you climb into the car.

      And a Christmas miracle has happened!

      Newspaper readers have sent the Delgados boxes and bags of Christmas gifts: warm coats and sweaters for the family, carpets and chairs for the little apartment. A magnificent Christmas tree illuminates the room, and carols are playing from a little stereo system. The room is drenched in loving gifts from a wealthy city to a poor family.

      But that’s not the miracle.

      Perfecta, Lydia, and Jenny are busy packing many of their gifts back up. As they write the names of friends on the boxes you blurt out, What are you doing? Why are you giving your gifts away? You think of your own Christmas—all the new stuff under the tree that you would never think of giving away.

      Perfecta says gently, Our neighbors are still in need. We cannot have plenty while they have nothing. This is what Jesus likes us to do. You just stare, your eyes wide. The grandmother continues, her eyes tender. We did nothing to deserve these gifts. But the greatest gift of all is the one we’re celebrating today: the gift of Jesus.

      You have a lot to think about on the ride home. The Delgados were happy when they were poor and when they were showered with gifts. But instead of hoarding their gifts for a rainy day, their first thought was to share. Why? They said it had to do with Jesus—what he likes us to do. Just as if he were right here, a living person!

      You think about the story your family always tells at Christmas, about the little baby in the manger—two thousand years ago, right? Exactly who was in that manger? Can he make you as beautiful inside as the Delgados are?

      There was something in the old story about shepherds. An angel told them a baby had been born nearby, and the shepherds said, Hey, let’s go check it out.

      Let’s do the same. Who was in the manger? Is he real? And how can we be sure?

      Let’s go check it out!

      Part 1

      WHO WAS IN THE MANGER?

      Chapter 1

      WHO DID THIS GUY THINK HE WAS?

      Did you know there is life on the moon? Back in 1835, a newspaper called the New York Sun printed an entire series of articles claiming that life had just been discovered on the moon. A famous scientist named Sir John Herschel was said to have rigged up a really effective new telescope. He could peer through its lens and see exactly what was happening up on the lunar surface. He said he had spotted buffalo, goats, unicorns, and even winged humanoids building temples!

      Also, it seemed as if the moon would make a terrific vacation site. There were beaches, oceans, and forests up there. You could enjoy them as you took a walk in the earthlight.

      Some people got pretty excited. But when someone checked with Sir John Herschel, the whole story fell apart. He said he didn’t have a new telescope and he had no idea what was on the moon. But he did have a good laugh!

      This was what we call a hoax today—a story created to attract attention. The crazy story made the Sun a very popular paper, even after everyone found out the truth. But it just goes to show: Don’t believe everything you read. When you hear a wild claim,
