Christmas Daily Devotional

About evil in our age…

Matthew 2:16 When Herod realized that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was furious, and he gave orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under, in accordance with the time he had learned from the Magi.

We live in a world of madmen. Our most recent madman of note is Osama Bin Laden. There have been others in recent history like Hitler, Pol Pot, Stalin, et al. In a clean and sterile world where everyone has repented, there would be no evil madness. Perhaps when you read this, the world will have repented, but if Christ has not returned…probably not. Christ came into the world in humble beginnings to save us from being snatched by evil and pulled into the fires of hell and/or being pulled into the torment of outer darkness. The warm glow of Christmas, in His reality of two thousand years ago, and our reality today, is that the warm glow exists only if we come close to Him. It is most appropriate that Christ was born as a normal person is born, for some of us do wish to hold Him as a baby. We must hold Him. We must hold Him close. We must cuddle Him. We must cradle Him in our arms and we must protect His love for there is a Herod in every age until the end of the age.
