Herod
Scripture Passage: Matthew
2:11-18
God sees the future just as clearly as we see the past. He
knew that Herod would try to kill the baby Jesus. Joseph
and Mary would need money to travel to Egypt and live there.
The gifts of the wise men were very expensive and were easy
to carry. God had prepared for the baby Jesus by sending
these gifts. Joseph and Mary were able to stay in Egypt
until Herod died. God will supply our needs if we are serving
Him faithfully.
Questions:
1. How did God know that Herod would try to kill
Jesus?

2. How did God supply Joseph and
Mary's need for money?

portable gifts.
3. What will God do for us if we serve Him faithfully?

supply our needs too.
Memory verse: Philippians.
4:19
And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus. (NLT)
