DVM Stephen S AhokasWhile growing up as a pastor's son, I acquired first hand knowledge of how Christians try to explain the meaning and significance of Christ's birth. At the same time, through exposure to the world outside my father's home and church, I gained knowlede of how the world tries to explain away the meaning and significance of Christ's birth. Through it all, I have come to understand that I have every reason to place my faith in Christ.In undergraduate college I studied music, wildlife management, and pre-veterinary requirements at the University of Nebraska. I studied and received my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree from The Ohio State University. While in Veterinary school, through involvement in Campus Crusade for Christ, I acquired more experiential knowledge of how to explain to other people the meaning and significance of Christ's birth. I was saddened when I heard my Jewish anesthesiology professor tell his students that he couldn't place his faith in Christ because he was Jewish. It saddened me because Jesus Christ was Jewish, and salvation came to the Jewish people through their Jewish savior. And that salvation was to extend to the rest of the world through the Jewish people, until we are all (both Jews and Gentiles) made one in salvation through Christ. Since that experience, I have felt commissioned to spend the rest of my life researching and explaining to the world the link between Judaism and Christianity. Read More Read Less
