1. After reading the story of the visit of the Magi/Wisemen, what difference/s did you notice from the usual nativity scene we see during Christmas?

Answer:

When the men went into the house and saw the child with Mary, his mother, they knelt down and worshiped him. They took out their gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh[c] and gave them to him.

2. How many prophecies about Jesus was fulfilled in today's reading?

- List down only the OT scripture address.

And his descendants will always rule.

Nations will bring him tribute

And bow in obedience before him. (Genesis 49:10)

b. The Lord says, "Bethlehem Ephrathah, you are one of the smallest towns in Judah, but out of you I will bring a ruler for Israel, whose family line goes back to ancient times." (Micah 5:2)

c. The royal line of David is like a tree that has been cut down; but just as new branches sprout from a stump, so a new king will arise from among David's descendants. (Isaiah 11:1)

d. The Lord says, "The time is coming when I will choose as king a righteous descendant of David. That king will rule wisely and do what is right and just throughout the land. (Jeremiah 23:5)

3. What verse made an impact to you today?

Answer:

The verse 23 - and they went to live there in the town of Nazareth. So the Lord's promise came true, just as the prophet had said, "He will be called a Nazarene.".
