Thursday Devotional - Angel Quiz

In past years, I've done a couple quizzes at Christmas time to see if we really know the details surrounding Jesus' birth as well as we think we do. So, this year, I was led to put together a quiz to see what we know about the angels surrounding His birth.

1. How many people were visited by an angel leading up to Jesus' birth?
2. Who were each of the individuals?
3. How many of the angels are named?
4. What are their names?
5. How many times is it recorded that an angel appeared to Joseph before and after Jesus’ birth?

I'll post the answers next week. Or, for those who can't wait, you can figure them out now on your own by reading the Matthew passage below and Luke chapters 1 and 2!

Matthew 1:20-24 "But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins." All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: "The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel" - which means, "God with us."

God came to live among us and in us! God incarnate, as Jesus, came to live among us. After Jesus death on the cross, to save us from our sins, we have God the Holy Spirit to live in us as believers. As we've been studying the last few Thursdays, God is always with us!
