60IN60 Day 2 - Tues Nov 3

It's Day 2 and we're in Matthew 2.

Where God Spoke To Me:
- Verse 13 - Obedience sometimes leads us to places we never expected to be.

Help: 
- Verses 13-18 - This is a heartbreaking story.  Jesus was born into a world of tragedy and suffering.  He bore much suffering Himself.  That's one reason we can bring our struggles to Him.

Your Questions and Comments:

- Matthew 1. "I just read Matthew 1 that establishes the lineage of Joseph. But Joseph did not father Jesus. What of Mary's lineage?" - Many believe that the genealogy in Matthew 1 shows Joseph's lineage and that Luke 3 shows Mary's.

- A comment from a 60IN60 participant. "I agree that the genealogy verses contained in Matthew 1 can seem to be an onerous task for the reader. However, in the past several years I have found it fruitful to research the backstories of the individuals in the lineage of Jesus. I am particularly impressed by the four pagan women included: Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, and Bathsheba. Tamar and Rahab especially illustrate how God can use (very) imperfect people to further His sovereign plan for our redemption. I encourage others to reflect on the mysterious ways used by the God we worship."
