The Sunday after Christmas – where we read of Herod's slaying of the boy babies in Bethlehem – teaches us about the nature of the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God is not now, never has been, and never will be found according to the way the world wants. It is hidden behind sorrow and suffering, persecution and scorn, behind defeat and loss, in the insignificant things of the world. This is a message worth holding on to, because it means that no matter what happens in 2021, the Kingdom of God is yours.
Sermon on Matthew 2:13-23 by Rev. Jeff Hendrix
