I hope your Christmas celebration was meaningful, and that is was a time of great joy with family, friends, and reflection. Sunday we think about life once the celebration is over. We will look back at the family life of Mary, Joseph, and Jesus in the excitement of Christmas and the faithfulness that was required in the quiet years that followed. It’s a great lesson as we look forward to a new year and what God wants of us after the celebration. Read Matthew 2 and Luke 2 in order to get set your hearts for our study tomorrow.
And he went and lived in a city called Nazareth, so that what was spoken by the prophets might be fulfilled, that he would be called a Nazarene.” (Matthew 2:23 ESV)
And when they had performed everything according to the Law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth. And the child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom. And the favor of God was upon him.” (Luke 2:39-40 ESV)
