The Gospels Set 2 Study Resources
Companion study notes, commentary, and next-step resources for this set of readings from The Gospels Discipleship Journal.
This Set’s Big Idea
Jesus is the promised King and Savior who came humbly, was worshiped by outsiders, protected by God, and grew in wisdom according to His Father’s plan.
As you read, watch how God directs every detail of Jesus’ early life through promises, angels, worshipers, warnings, faithful obedience, and ordinary family moments.
These notes correspond with Set 2 readings in The Gospels Discipleship Journal. First, use MTSM’s Pray, Read, Ask, and Pray method to study the passage devotionally. After you finish, use these notes to deepen your understanding if you’d like.
This set continues the story of Jesus’ arrival by focusing on His birth, dedication, protection, and childhood. As you read Matthew 1–2 and Luke 2, pay attention to how God fulfills His promises, how different people respond to Jesus, and how the Son of God enters ordinary human life with humility, purpose, and obedience.
