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...

56_____ One of the indicators of the special position Mary would someday hold in the church was the fact that when the Magi arrived they paid homage to Mary and venerated her as the “mother of God”.

57_____ The shepherds and the Magi all converged upon the baby Jesus in the manger.

58_____ The Magi were from the East.

59_____ From it’s first appearance, the star led the Magi directly to Jesus.

Answer Key

56 F – (One of the indicators of the special position Mary would someday hold in the church was the fact that when the Magi arrived they paid homage to Mary and venerated her as the “mother of God”.)
In the Historical Revelation of God the Holy Spirit the Magi worship Christ but nothing special is said of their association with or recognition of Mary.

57 F – Luke 2:8 - 16; Matthew 2: 11 (The shepherds and the Magi all converged upon the baby Jesus in the manger.)
The shepherds came upon Jesus as a newborn, in the manger, wrapped in swaddling cloths. The Magi came later to Jesus’ house and found him as a young boy living in a house.

58 T – (The Magi were from the East)
Matthew 2:1 states, “Magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem”. The geographical orientation of “from the east” refers specifically to Jerusalem and not to the reader. This is important in understanding other references in Scripture such as the star being seen in the east by the Magi. That would be east of the Magi who were east of Jerusalem.

59 F - Matthew 2:9 - 11 (From it’s first appearance, the star led the Magi directly to Jesus.)
The Magi first went to Jerusalem, not being lead by the star but rather as a result of the star’s appearance in the eastern sky. (See question 41) After consultation with the scribes via Herod's court the city of Bethlehem was isolated. It was only after Scriptures were consulted and they continued on their way, south, to Bethlehem that the star began giving them specific help. They were only able to find the specific house Jesus was in by following the star which went on before them and directed them ultimately to the house where Joseph, Mary and Jesus were living. Thus it was by an indirect route and they needed other aides, such as Herod, the scribes and the Word of God to find Jesus.
