Questions
- Why would an angel choose to appear to someone who was asleep, rather than awake (verse 2)? What other instances do we have of such appearances?
- What does the phrase "from all eternity to all eternity" mean (verse 5)? Is that the same as saying "forever," or might it have an alternate meaning?
- Why would the angel begin his account of Christ's earthly ministry by emphasizing the miracles he would perform (verse 5)? As members of His Church, do we spend enough time discussing the miracles that transpire in our own work and ministry?
