This is a Christmas passage we tend to skip over! It certainly leaves us uneasy, and feeling the pain of the families. But in it we see the ugliness and pain of sin, and God's goodness, even at Christmas.
We see God's gracious plan revealed - this child was born in the humble peasant home and he came to be with people like us, whatever our background or race.
Life for us is messy and full of questions, and it was no different for those involved in the Christmas story. And yet in the midst of the chaos is the Child.
In many ways the story of the Bible is the story of God calling and setting apart a Kingdom of Priests. That story hasn’t ended- it is our privilege even today.
Exodus 19:4-6, Hebrews
