In order to get ready for class tonight you'll want to read all Luke 2 today.
In verses 1--7, what time clues do you find that would help you determine what the date might be?
In verses 8--20, who do the angels come to? What would the hillside seen "look" like (age of shepherds, landscape, time of day, etc.)? What was the content of the angel's song? What do you think was going on in Mary's mind, given all she'd experienced over the last year? What was the reaction of the shepherds in verse 20?
In verses 21-38, what do you make of Simeon's reaction? What was the content of his song? What was Mary and Joseph's reaction to all this?
You'll also want to read Matthew 1 & 2. Take note of how the Lord ministered to Joseph during this time. Also, note v. 11 of Matthew 2. What is key about where they were and who they reacted to?
See you in class tonight, the last class before 2005!
