  3. Far As the Curse Is Found

Reflection Questions:

  1. When you force yourself to stop and contemplate the Christmas story – what part do you find most perplexing or disturbing?
  2. How have you personally experienced God sending (or brewing) hope in the darkness (or perfecting His power in your weakness)?
  3. Christ’s Mass/Mission is summed up in 2 Corinthians 8:9 and Galatians 3:13; so when Jesus hears the words “Christmas Tree” what do you think He envisions?
