Prayer: Lord God, ruler of all, we commend our nation and its leaders to your care. Bless our president, the members of Congress, and all officials who serve us in national, state and local government. Impress on all who are in authority the sacredness of the responsibility you have placed upon them. Give them the gifts required for leadership, wisdom to make decisions that will bring order and justice to our society, and compassion for the suffering. Purge our land from dishonesty and corruption. Teach us to honor all civil authorities as your representatives. Through stable government provide throughout our land an atmosphere in which your Church can do its work in peace. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

The cross always loomed large over the manger. That’s how it is with the Gospel reading from St. Matthew 2:13-23 on this first Sunday after Christmas. We see a hasty flight to Egypt. The slaughter of the baby boys of Bethlehem. And the return of the holy family to settle in Nazareth. The cross looms large over the Christmas story and over this Child of Bethlehem. It’s a bitter and sad part of the Christmas story. You can’t get away from it. No matter how much tinsel you wind around it, no matter how cheery you try to be, no matter how many songs you belt out, the cross is inescapable. These young children, these baby boys of Bethlehem, died because they resembled Jesus.

Our preconceived notions of God are utterly destroyed when we read passages like this. We expect a God who exerts His power with force and might. We get a God whose power is exerted in weakness and vulnerability. We expect a God who saves from the top down; we get a God who saves from the bottom up. We expect a God who is a winner among the winners of this world, who isn’t threatened by the Herods and the Pontus Pilates; we get a God who overcomes the powers and principalities by falling into their clutches and being crucified.
