| Text: 2 Samuel 7:16; Matthew 2:1-6; Luke 2:1-11; John 18:33–40; Revelation 11:15, Revelation 19:6; 14-16 Theme: A predicted king, an unexpected king, a glorious king Open The Scriptures – What does 2 Samuel 7:16 teach us about the kind of King God promised to send? – What details in Luke 2 and Matthew 2 make Jesus’ kingship look upside-down compared to earthly kings? – How does John 18 and Revelation 19 expand your understanding of what kind of King Jesus really is? Open Your Lives – Where are you most tempted to want a king who looks powerful instead of one who looks like Jesus? – What does (or should) it look like in the world and in our personal lives that Jesus is king? – We were invited to “kick ourselves off the throne” of our lives and make Jesus king; what single area of your life will you intentionally surrender to Jesus this Advent, and how will you do that? |
