DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
1. If Jesus was the "Son of God" and the "Son of the Most High" then why did he commonly refer to himself as the "Son of Man?" (Hint: read Daniel 7)
2. What are some of the other old testament prophesies about the coming messiah that Jesus fulfillined?
3. Verse 33 says that Jesus would reign "over the house of Jacob forever." How do we know that Gabriel is not talking about Jesus ruling over the Jews only?
4. What does it mean to be a "servant (or bondservant) of the Lord?"
5. Mary told Gabriel "let it be to me according to your word." How do we discern what God's word is for us today when we don't have any angels appearing to give us specific instructions from God?
