An awful despot named Herod tried to eliminate Jesus by slaughtering all of the children in Bethlehem who were two years old and under.  Why couldn't he have dropped dead before charging his soldiers with this heinous command?  How could the soldiers carry it out?  Why does God allow such unrestrained evil to occur?

Luke 2:22-40 "Waiting Upon the Lord"Two elderly people who clung to God's promises despite having to wait a long time, experienced the joy of promises fulfilled as Jesus was brought to the Temple.  Are we perhaps tempted to give up too quickly?

It has been my experience that the good news of Jesus Christ is rarely received outside of meaningful relationships.  Unfortunately, many Christians do not share their faith in Christ Jesus with their family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers because they feel unqualified to do so, thinking that they don't know enough Bible or their lives aren't perfect.  This would be a problem if we were called to share "us" with our neighbor, but we aren't.  We are called to point others to our Savior - not to us - and what we consider to be disqualifications are the very weaknesses that our Lord uses in bringing forth from us an authentic witness to Him.  John the Baptist teaches us that the role of an evangelist is to point people to Jesus and allow ourselves to fade into the background.  What could be less threatening than that?

The Christ Who is Jesus concerned Himself with People not Power.  It was difficult for John the Baptist to understand how an unjust ruler could remain in power when the Christ had come.  In his first arrival Jesus was reconciling the world back to his Father through his innocent suffering and death.  When he returns, the fullness of his reign will be seen by all and his kingdom enjoyed forever by those whom he has reconciled.  Just as he said, everyone who believes in him will live forever with him in his Kingdom.
