Day 1:  Matthew 1:1-17  (Sermon Focus)
Day 2:  Matthew 1:18-25
Day 3:  Matthew 2:1-12
Day 4:  Matthew 2:13-23
Day 5:  Reflect…
What is the importance of Jesus’s genealogy to the Gospel?  How does it prepare us to hear and understand Jesus’s story?How do you see Jesus portrayed as a king?
What trouble is foreshadowed for this king?
​What kind of king will Jesus be?  Does Matthew’s telling of this story help you understand Jesus will be a different king than King Herod or the other kings of the time?

The end of Matthew 2 is a particularly difficult passage. We all struggle to understand how such a tragedy could happen. Yet, we also believe Jesus came to show us a new way to live. Those in power do not need to lead with violence, but instead love is a far more powerful force.
