Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

  1. What does this passage show me about God?

    • What does the angel say about the child, and who first hears the news of his birth?
  2. What does it show me about people — and about myself?

    • Why do you think God announced this birth first to ordinary shepherds?
  3. What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)

    • How will you make room for Jesus this week, the way Mary said yes to God?
  4. Who will I tell?

    • Like the shepherds, who will you tell what you have heard and seen?

Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).

Pray

God, thank you for keeping your promise and sending a Savior, born in a manger. Like Mary, let it be to me according to your word.
