GOD WITH US

 

Matthew 1:1-25

Key Verse 1:23

 

The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son,

and they will call him Immanuel"—which means, "God with us."



The Genealogy of Jesus (1:1-17)


1. Please read verse 1. What is the opening proclamation of this gospel? What is the significance of these three descriptions of Jesus: ‘Christ’, ‘son of David’ and ‘son of Abraham’?




2. What does the genealogy show about God? Who are the five women in Matthew’s genealogy? Why did the author include Gentile women in Jesus’ genealogy? (3, 5) How was the mercy of God shown in the lives of these women? Why do you think the author divided Israel’s history this way? (17)




The birth of Jesus Christ (1:18-25)


3. How did Mary become pregnant? Why did the author call Joseph a “righteous man”? (19) How did God help Joseph? (20) What did the angel foretell concerning Mary’s child? (21) What does ‘Jesus’ mean?




4. What was foretold concerning Jesus’ birth? (23, Isa 7:14)  Why is this significant? What does ‘God with us’ mean to you? How did Joseph obey the Lord’s command? (24)
