故事(15分钟)
介绍：
是时候讲我们的圣经故事了！今天我们要继续讲述圣诞故事。圣诞故事是关于耶稣基督的诞生，是圣经中最重要的故事之一！马太福音告诉我们有关一些宗教领袖的细节，以及他们如何参与了耶稣的诞生。耶路撒冷的希律王想知道弥赛亚耶稣将要诞生的地方，他召集了这些宗教领袖。这些宗教领袖每天研读经文，确切地知道神的话说弥赛亚将要在哪里诞生。让我们听听故事的展开。
读 马太福音2:1-8
请孩子们注意宗教领袖的细节以及他们对希律说了什么。
问题讨论：
1.新星和星象家的到来让希律王生气的原因是什么？（新星预示一个新的统治者的到来。）
2.为什么一个新的统治者的诞生可能会让王生气？（他可能会被取代！希律想成为唯一的王。）
3.希律为了回答星象家的问题派人找谁？（祭司长和民间的经学家）
4.根据这些宗教领袖，弥赛亚将在哪里诞生？（伯利恒）
5.希律和宗教领袖住在哪里？（耶路撒冷）
6.在知道耶稣在哪里后，希律和宗教领袖去见了耶稣吗？（不，他们没有。）

BIBLE STORY (15 minutes)
Introduction:It’s time for our Bible story! Today we are going to continue talking about some of the people that were part of the Christmas story. The Christmas story is all about the birth of Jesus Christ and it is one of the most important stories in the Bible! When we read from the book of Matthew, he tells us details about some Religious leaders and how they were part of the story of Jesus’ birth. King Herod of Jerusalem wanted to know where Jesus, the Messiah, was supposed to be born so he called for these religious leaders. The religious leaders studied scripture daily and knew exactly where God’s Word said that the Messiah would be born. Let’s listen to the story unfold.
Read Matthew 2:1-8. Ask the children to listen for details about the religious leaders and what they said to Herod.
Discussion Questions:
1. What upset King Herod about the arrival of the Magi and the new star in the sky? (The new star was in honor of a new ruler.)
2. Why do you think a new ruler being born might upset the king? (He could be replaced! Herod wanted to be the only king.)
3. Who did Herod send for to help answer the Magi’s question? (The people’s chief priests and teachers of the law.)
4. According to these religious leaders where was the Messiah to be born? (In Bethlehem.)
5. Where were Herod and the religious leaders living? (Jerusalem.)
6. Did Herod or the religious teachers go to see Jesus after they found out where he was? (No, they did not.)
