There are leaders who seem like madmen but there is something else...
I have friends who are going through the sadness of the loss
of their father. They need to hear again
the good news. There is a certain place
the story has to end, resurrection
and so it has to have a certain kind of
beginning.
It does have that beginning.
There is Herod, the murderer of innocent children and a madman.
But there is Elisabeth
and Zechariah
and John the Baptist
born amazingly to people who were well along in years.
There is Herod
But there is
Gabriel,
Joseph
and Mary.
Highly favored Mary.
The Lord is for us Mary.
You have found favor with God Mary.
There is Herod
But there is Jesus.
Great Jesus.
Son of David Jesus.
Reign forever Jesus.
There is nothing impossible with God Jesus.
Baby jumping in the womb because of Jesus.
God scatters the proud and exalts the humble Jesus.
Salvation from our enemies Jesus.
We can serve without fear Jesus.
Knowledge of forgiveness of sins Jesus.
The tender mercy of our God Jesus.
To guide our feet to peace Jesus.
Don’t worry about the “madness” of your earthly leaders.
Focus on Jesus.
Mark 16, Luke 1
