Evening: Psalms 2, 8; Matthew 2:13-18
Some go to terrible lengths to maintain their grip on power or status. King Herod is afraid that Jesus will challenge his power and promote justice. So Herod murders children to try to get rid of Jesus … Innocent people often suffer when the unjust and powerful try to manipulate the truth because it threatens to expose their abuse of power. Both followers and opponents of Jesus can misunderstand and misrepresent him as is convenient for them. May I resist using my power to betray the vulnerable (or anyone else) in order to preserve my own reputation or privilege.
