The Good News of Great Joy

Luke 2:1-20

Key Verse 2:10

1. Read verses 1-7. What does the Scripture say about the birth place of the Savior to come? (Micah 5:2) Where was Jesus born?  What does this tell us about God who sent the Savior in this way? 

2. Read verses 8-11. Verse 11 describes Jesus as: 1) the Savior; 2) the Christ; and 3) the Lord. What does Jesus save men from? What does the Christ mean? 

3. Read verses 12-14.  Verse 14 reads, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men, on whom his favor rests.” What does this passage show us about the Savior born in a manger? 

4. Read verses 15-20. What did the shepherds do with the good news? What can we learn from them?
