e100 Challenge Day 53- The Birth of Jesus- Luke 2:1-40

Click here to read today's passage

The greatest miracle in the history of the world, the birth of the Son of God as a man, to Mary a humble, young woman is told in today’s passage. This marvelous event happened in a quiet stable in the village of Bethlehem. The few details we are given in Luke give a glimpse into the very moment our Savior was born. The angle that appeared to the shepherds announcing the birth of the Messiah said, “fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people”. In return for seeing baby Jesus they glorified and praised God, for everything was as it had been told. We also read about Simeon who is waiting for the consolation of Israel, the hope that God would come and rescue and comfort his people. Many others were also eagerly awaiting this hope.

Questions to Consider:

1)   What are some verses that jump out that you may not pick up during the busy Christmas season?

2)   In vs. 10, what is this “good news of great joy”?

3)   Anna is an example of a humble servant of God. What did she do leading up to Christ’s birth and following it?

Ways to pray:

Thank you Lord for coming to this earth and taking on human flesh to save us, your people. Help us to remember this great miracle that took place and follow the example of Anna, becoming a humble servant and proclaiming what you have done and giving thanks to You.
