The story of Jesus' life continues after Christmas in powerful and surprising ways. As a young child, his family flees an oppressive government, he lives as a refugee, and ends up growing up in a small, obscure town. Not quite the origin story we might expect for the hero of the world. But it's exactly the story God has been pointing toward and foreshadowing throughout all of human history.

2. How should Jesus' identification with the refugee, oppressed, threatened, and obscure shape how we view others in similar situations today?
3. How does the identification of Jesus as the new and greater Moses shape your understanding of God's sovereign guiding of all human history?
