Dig In Questions

In preparation for today's questions, read Matthew 2:1-9.

1) What is one thing that stood out to you about Sunday's message?

2) Over 700 years before the birth of Christ, the prophet Micah prophesied specifically where Jesus would be born and from what family line he would descend from. What does the fulfillment of this prophecy say about the plans of God?

3) "Magi" were known as astrologers who participated in the dark arts that violated Old Testament laws, yet, God appoints a star to lead these very men to the birth of Christ. What does this tell us about the heart and priorities of God?

4) Matthew tells us that when the wise men (magi) got to Jesus, they chose to worship him. What do you need to do this Christmas season to give Jesus more of your worship?

5) The story of the wise men (magi) being guided by a star and coming to meet Jesus shows us that God cares for even the least likely individuals. Who in your life needs to know the love and power of Christ? What can you be doing to guide them towards Christ this Christmas season?
