Overview

Christmas doesn’t mean the end of darkness. Jesus comes into a dark world, and there’s immediately violence.

Most stories about the birth of Jesus are filled with glad tidings of great joy, but in Matthew 2, there is a dark episode. It’s often called “the slaughter of the innocents” because Herod kills all the children in Bethlehem under the age of two, just to try to kill the Messiah.

From this, we learn three lessons about the coming of Jesus into the world: 1) the coming of Jesus evokes hostility, 2) God works in unexpected ways, and 3) the whole Bible is really about Jesus.
