This Sunday in our youth groups we will cover the birth of Jesus.
What strikes me is the thought that the fulfilled promise of sending the Messiah reminds me to trust God's plan. The people involved in the coming of Christ had no idea how this was all going to play out. We have the benefit of looking back, and seeing "all is calm, all is bright," but a great deal of uncertainty was involved. That's where trusting God's character is involved.
Although we sometimes wonder - what is God up to? - we can remember that is the same uncertainty people like Mary felt. Yet they trusted God's character, and so can we.
Below is a discussion sheet to bring about more impact at home from this great topic.
