Bah! Humbug!
December 31, 2023 • Pastor Bryan Eckelmann • Matthew 2:12–23
If there is any "Scrooge" in the New Testament, it is Herod ("the Great"). But this is more than a story of history - it describes our life today. It says: 1 -- despite what we'd like to believe, Christmas is NOT a perfect time, but instead is a real world of pain and joy. 2 -- The Herods of the world will always be outmatched and confounded by the love and faithfulness of Jesus Christ. Also, there is a bit of Herod in all of us - a part of us that is both threatened by Christ's Lordship and protective of our power.
