The Dark Side of Christmas

Slaughter of the Innocents. Floor of Santa Maria Assunta, Siena, Italy.

Christmas is more than ring the bells and cheer. Much more than these, Christmas brings the hope that in the midst of darkness, in the midst of children being murdered by power-hungry tyrants, God enters the world in the flesh. A day will come when all wrongs are made right. But until the God-man reappears, he is with us, building his kingdom. We are not alone.
