Luke 2
Why do you think Luke includes the
historical context that he chooses to use?
Bethlehem is the city of David.
What about Jesus makes us think back to the greatest earthly king of Israel?
Why announce the message to
shepherds? Why not kings and queens? Why not Herod, the king of the Jews?
Imagine how awesome this
announcement was. If you were a shepherd and this happened to you, what is your
reaction?
Note Simeon’s sense of peace in
his impending death. Why can he be so peaceful at this end of his life? Can we
have the same peace?
How will Jesus cause the falling
and rising of many in Israel? What is Simeon talking about?
Verse 52 says that Jesus grew in
many ways. Is this something you think about? Jesus grew up just like you and I
did.
