Summer Bible Study: WordGo’s Born to Dwell: Christ’s Incarnation: Week 1, Day 3: Matthew 1:2-11 with Genesis 12:1-3

Summary of Matthew 1:2-11 with Genesis 12:1-3

We see Jesus’ genealogy listed, and God’s calling of Abraham to go to the Promised Land, and He’ll make him a great nation.

Questions for Matthew 1:2-11 with Genesis 12:1-3

6) That God keeps His promises faithfully throughout time.

7) God values women as much as He does men. All humans are God’s children. God offers grace and salvation to all.

8 ) God uses all types of people, including the broken, to accomplish His plans. I am very comforted by this because it means God can use me, too, and challenged because I know I have to accomplish God’s purpose for me here on earth, and I only have a limited time to do so.

Conclusions to WordGo Born to Dwell: Christ’s Incarnation: Week 1, Day 3: Matthew 1:2-11 with Genesis 12:1-3

The genealogy proves God’s absolute faithfulness: the massive list of flawed descendants perfectly fulfills His ancient covenant to bless all nations through Abraham’s ultimate offspring.

God is SO amazing, isn’t He?

Summer Bible Study: WordGo’s Born to Dwell: Christ’s Incarnation: Week 1, Day 2: Matthew 1:1 with Mark 2:13-17

Summary of Matthew 1:1 with Mark 2:13-17

The genealogy of Jesus is mentioned, and Mark tells the story of when Jesus calls Levi and eats with sinners. Jesus calls Levi, a tax collector, to follow him, and he does. The Pharisees criticize Jesus for eating with tax collectors and sinners, but Jesus says he came for sinners.

Questions for Matthew 1:1 with Mark 2:13-17

3) Jesus is the Messiah, and he came for sinners.

4) Jesus is the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

5) Messiah means “Anointed One.” Pastors, BSF, bible studies, prayers, a personal relationship with God. Because without Jesus, we’d all be dead in our sins. With Jesus, we are alive!

Conclusions to WordGo Born to Dwell: Christ’s Incarnation: Week 1, Day 2: Matthew 1:1 with Mark 2:13-17

Matthew 1:1 establishes Jesus’ royal pedigree as the son of David and Abraham. Contrasting this, Mark 2:13-17 shows Jesus actively calling Levi, a despised tax collector, to follow Him. Together, they reveal that the promised, prestigious Messiah came not to favor the elite, but to heal and redeem the broken.

Jesus came for me! Such wonderful news!

Summer Bible Study: WordGo’s Born to Dwell: Christ’s Incarnation: Week 1, Day 1: Luke 1:26-38 & Matthew 1:16

Summary of Luke 1:26-38 & Matthew 1:16

In Luke 1:26-38, the angel Gabriel appears to Mary to tell her she will give birth to the Messiah. Matthew 1:16 says Mary is the mother of Jesus, and Joseph is the husband of Mary.

Questions for Luke 1:26-38 & Matthew 1:16

1) The fact that it was the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy when Mary was told. The angel called her most favored by God. Mary’s concern about how the news of her having Jesus, the Messiah, would come to pass. How Elizabeth is having a baby in old age (a miracle from God) when it was said she never would be able to. In Matthew 1:16, I notice that Joseph is referred to only as Mary’s husband.

2) Jesus would be born in a manger in Bethlehem. The angel Gabriel promised Mary that she, a virgin, would bear God’s Son, Jesus, who would rule an everlasting kingdom, fulfilling ancient biblical prophecies. Jesus’ main reason he came to dwell with us is to die for our sins, giving us eternal life. Beyond that, it was to show us how to live, to suffer so we feel comforted in our suffering, and to be the guiding light in the storms of our lives.

Conclusions to WordGo Born to Dwell: Christ’s Incarnation: Week 1, Day 1: Luke 1:26-38 & Matthew 1:16

Luke 1:26-38 details Gabriel’s miraculous promise to the virgin Mary, while Matthew 1:16 masterfully clarifies that Joseph was the husband of Mary, “of whom was born Jesus.” Together, they confirm Jesus’ divine conception, bypassing human lineage to establish Him as both the Son of God and the legal heir to David.

I’m SUPER excited to begin this study of Christ’s birth. Can’t wait to dive in with you all!
