Questions
For Personal Reflection or Group Discussion
- Based on Matthew 1:18–25, how does the supernatural birth of Jesus shape our understanding of who He is? Why does it matter that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and not born like everyone else?
- Matthew 1:21 says Jesus came to “save his people from their sins.” Why do you think forgiveness of sin is often harder for people to accept as their greatest need than things like health, success, or freedom from problems?
- Isaiah presents Immanuel as either a stumbling stone or a foundation stone. What does that look like practically today? What determines whether Jesus becomes something we build our lives on—or something that we see as a hindrance?
