Matthew 1; Luke 1 · December 28 to January 3

Be It unto Me According to Thy Word

Matthew and Luke begin with two promised births. Elisabeth and Zacharias had prayed for a child for years, and Mary was asked to carry the Son of God. This week’s lessons follow their faith.

Seven days cover the manual’s topics for Matthew 1 and Luke 1: staying faithful while a righteous desire goes unanswered; the ways the Lord’s Church in Luke 1 looks like the restored Church today; accepting the Lord’s will with trust, as Mary did; the truth that with God nothing is impossible; and Jesus Christ as the Son of Heavenly Father and of Mary.
