[Sunday] Following Light - The Book of Advents
The Magi followed God’s light of a star. Wait, those foreigners were following God’s light? Surely God’s people will follow the light rather than going back to darkness.
Questions for this week.
In your own words, before rereading in the Bible, tell the story of the wise men.
Read Matthew 2:1-12. Now retell the story of the Magi.
How does Herod and all Jerusalem respond to the news that the Magi bring?
Why do you think they respond that way?
Read Isaiah 60:1-6. How can we follow the light of Jesus, as he brings the nations and Magi of the world to him?
