Matthew 2:1-12

Discipleship Habit 11 Evangelism
Discipleship Reflection Question: Do you pray for unbelievers and respond to opportunities God gives you to share the good news of Jesus?
Read Matthew 2:1-12
• The Magi (v1) were men who sought wisdom through the stars, they were astrologers, that is they worshipped a false God, and yet the true God used this to serve his purposes, to bring these men to worship Jesus.
• Looking back at your life identify how God has taken your search for truth and used even things that were not true to bring you to this point.
• Part of helping others discover the truth of God is not to condemn their search but instead use their search to bring them to God. Think about someone you know who is searching for God in the wrong places – without validating their mistakes, what about their journey can you encourage and support?
• Take some time to ask someone and really listen to their answer to a question like: “You seem to be searching for God, tell me about your journey and what you’ve discovered so far?”
