Readings: Genesis 46:1-7; 1 Peter 4:12-19; Matthew 2:13-23
In the name of the Father and of the +Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.
Baby boys being bashed to death. It is a horrible fact of history. A testament that wickedness abounds in the heart of mankind. What did those poor boys do to be denied life? Where was God? I tell you, He was in the very middle of that suffering. In fact, God was so heartbroken about this wicked act that He prophesied about this through Jeremiah some 500 years before it happened. Jeremiah said it was so awful that Israel’s wife, Rachel—dead and turned to dust a thousand years, who had given birth to one of her two sons nearby—was grieving in her grave over these beautiful boys. If she who was dead for nearly 2000 years wept for these for children, how much more does God the Father of all weep for them?
