Advent Reflection - Putting Herod back in Christmas
Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Wed, 12/22/2004 - 15:19I just received an email with a great reflection entitled: Putting Herod back into Christmas.
"Herod represents the dark side of the gospel. He reminds us that Jesus didn't enter a world of sparkly Christmas cards or a world of warm spiritual sentiment. Jesus enters a world of real pain, of serious dysfunction, a world of brokenness and political oppression."
The contrast of Herod is what brings Christmas into sharp focus. Please read the whole reflection, and have a Merry Christmas.
