Introduction - Finale, Recap, & Dovetail
Sermon 5 of the series
This is a finale for this Advent season
Also a dovetail
Recap
He reveals himself
He calls us for life
He stretches us
He accomplishes great things
When God breaks in, conflict breaks out.
Not a Routine Massacre
Herod the Great, King of Judea
Not quite a Jew
Installed by Rome
Herod is threatened by this native-born, Judah’s-lineage king
the arrival of the Magi seems to legitimize
In response, he wipes out all of the boys in that vicinity 2 and under
If this is what a human king is willing to do to small children, then how much more will the powers of this world, the powers that oppose the rule of God, do to resist the rule of Christ
Herod didn’t know where exactly the baby was, so he laid waste to an area
Sin & evil know exactly where to find us
No Peace for Our Time
Neville Chamberlain - Peace for our time
We either consciously or unconsciously desire for their to be peace, but as we define it—a lack of conflict
In our world
In our lives
Whatever that thing is that Christ’s coming seeks to displace, that’s where the conflict will be
Though we didn’t start the conflict, nor will we end it, we are a part of it
