Knowing Jesus Christ as personal Savior is the central claim of It. The sermon uses the anecdote of a Yale professor's grading of a student's exam answer, "God only knows the answer to this question, Merry Christmas," to illustrate that while some things are known only to God, He desires for humanity to know Him. The core lesson is that Jesus Christ was sent to Earth for this purpose, as stated in John 1:10, and the message concludes by posing the question of how well each individual knows the Lord Jesus as their personal Savior.

William Phelps taught English literature at Yale University for forty-one years. When he was grading examinations shortly before Christmas one year, he came across an answer, God only knows the answer to this question, Merry Christmas. Phelps returned the paper with this note attached. God gets an A, you get an F. Happy New Year. We may smile. It is true there are some things that only God knows. But He does want us to know Him. And that's why He sent His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to planet Earth. There's a verse in John chapter one that says, He was in the world, that's the Lord Jesus, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. I ask you the question, How well do you know the Lord Jesus? Do you know Him as personal Savior? This has been a moment to remember from the Bible.
