Here’s last Sunday’s sermon on Matthew 2:13-23. Synopsis: Herod was an awful dude who killed lots of people and if anything, the scripture undersold what a brutal paranoid tyrant he was. But all is not lost, because maybe it also undersold the other side?
Hat tip to Howard Thurman’s The Work of Christmas, and Carrie Newcomer’s story about Christmas in the bar at 2 a.m. Also my friend Chris Tuttle of Westminster Presbyterian in Durham NC for his research into Herod, much of which came from the book Jerusalem: A Biography.
Thanks for listening. Steady on.
