REFLECTION TIME:

Talk about these questions with your family or group.

    Kids:

    • What is one of your favorite Christmas memories about another family member? 
    • Have you ever been totally embarrassed by your family during the holidays? 
    • What do you think about Jesus having some really embarrassing people in His family?

    Teens & Adults:

    • Would you have included the notorious people in Jesus’ lineage if you were Matthew?
    • How do you feel about Jesus coming into this family tree containing outright wicked
    • people?
    • Have you ever felt unworthy of grace? 
    • What does this lineage tell us about Jesus’ view on unworthiness?

DAILY PRAYER:

  • For freedom from generational sin
  • Family tree issues being broken by the good news of Jesus.
  • Our feelings of unworthiness
  • Getting a proper vision of Jesus’ opinion of us
