What comes after Christmas? A horrific scene of senseless suffering. King Herod, jealous for his throne, wanted to kill the newborn "King of the Jews," but he was "tricked" by the Magi. Furious, he ordered the slaughter of all male children in Bethlehem and in all that region who were two years old or under. Even amid this senseless suffering, a tyrannical king's rage could not thwart God's unstoppable plan of salvation. God delivered His Son, and through Him, God will deliver us too.
