Chapter 8:
Points to Ponder:
" Are we still stunned by God's coming? Still staggered by the event? Does Christmas still spawn the same speechless wonder it did two thousand years ago?"
1.) Are you " still stunned by God's coming"?
2.) How do you stay ready to allow God to stun you?
" Why is it that ot of a hundred or so of God's children only two paused to consider his son? What is this December demon that steals our eyes and stills our tongues? Isn't this the season to pause and pose Gabriel's questions? The tragedy is not that I can't answer them, but that I am too busy to ask them."
1.) How do you explain " this December demon that steals our eyes and stills our tongues"?
2.) Which of Gabriel's questions most intrigue you? Why?
Wisdom from the Word
Read Luke 1:5-20; 26-38. Compare verse 18 with verse 34. Why do you think Gabriel reacted so differently to these questions? Do you think Gabriel was a very gracious " personality"? Explain.
Read Daniel 8:15-19; 9:20-22. What do you learn about Gabriel's personality from these passages? If he were to appear to you, how do you think you'd respond?
