Joy

Reflection and response questions:

1. Read verse 10. Have you ever experienced this kind of joy in your life? What was the occasion? Why do you think these wise men were so joyful?
2. Read verses 1-6. Why do you suppose the Jewish leaders didn’t rejoice when they heard about the king of the Jews being born in Bethlehem? What does this say about having joy?
3. What does it mean to receive King Jesus into our life? In what ways does he change us as a king? In what ways does he change the world?
