December 19 Advent Study

These daily Advent studies are provided for your personal devotionals or for your daily family Advent devotionals during the evening meal. They are an excellent way to introduce daily Bible readings and discussions at the evening meal. Once begun during the Advent season the tradition can become a lifelong practice of your family. They seek to challenge both you and your children beyond the simplicity and often erroneous information provided in so called Advent calendars and children’s Christmas books. May you find it a blessing and may they be a starting point for your family in daily readings, discussions and meditations on the holy, eternal, inerrant written Word of God.

(T = True; F = False)
According to the Bible...

47_____ The angels, when they appeared to the Shepherds, were singing. The picture is of an “angelic choir”.

48 _____Unlike the Shepherds who were dumbfounded by the information provided by the angles, Mary, who also was visited by an angel, in contrast boldly shared the information she received publicly and with all who would listen.

49_____ The Magi consulted the Holy Scriptures which led them to Bethlehem and the baby Jesus.

Answer Key

47 F – Luke 2:8 – 15 (The angels, when they appeared to the Shepherds, were singing. The picture is of an “angelic choir”.)
The angels are presented as praising God and speaking to the shepherds but no mention is made of singing nor of a heavenly choir.

48 F – Luke 1:26 – 38; 2:18 – 20, 51; (Unlike the Shepherds who were dumbfounded by the information provided by the angles, Mary, who also was visited by an angle, by contrast boldly shared the information she received publicly and with all who would listen.)
Both Mary and the shepherds received angelic visitations concerning the birth of Jesus as the Messiah. Their reaction is in marked contrast. Mary for the most part kept quiet. She had a burst of enthusiasm in regards to Elizabeth where Mary was very forthcoming but unlike the shepherds of whom it is recorded in Luke 2:17-18 ”When they had seen this, they made known the statement which had been told them about this Child. And all who heard it wondered at the things which were told them by the shepherds.” Mary by contrast remained quiet Luke 2:19, “ But Mary treasured all these things, pondering them in her heart.” There is no Biblical record of Mary ever publicly witnessing to the fact that Jesus was indeed the Messiah.

49 F - Matthew 2:1 - 6 (The Magi consulted the Holy Scriptures which led them to Bethlehem and the baby Jesus.)
There are no prophetic Scripture which speak of a star. There is no indication that the magi were relying on any special ancient writings and certainly not the holy Scripture. An indication of this is that King Herod had to have the Holy Scriptures consulted for them. The Magi were simply responding to the appearance of a miraculous star, why they responded in this way, we do not know. (See question nine)
