Read Matthew 2
Think About It:
- Matthew chapter 2 gives some detail about the early years of Jesus’ life. Most of His days were common and ordinary like ours. But there were other days that pointed out God’s faithful care, such as the visit by the wise men and the appearance of angels giving direction. Joseph was a good man who took care of his family by obeying God. What did an angel warn Joseph about in a dream? (verse 13)
- Joseph and Mary moved their family in response to God’s direction and were protected. How many times were they directed by angels in this chapter?
Family Time:
- In what physical structure was Jesus when the wise men found him? (verse 11)
- What gifts did they give to Jesus? (verse 11)
- Why did Joseph and Mary take Jesus to Egypt? (verse 13)
