In Matthew 2, Herod orders the slaughter of the children in and around Bethlehem in an attempt to kill Jesus, the one born king of the Jews. Herod’s murder of these children isn’t recorded outside of the gospels, but we have record of lots of other terrible things #jesus #christmas

In “A Wrinkle in Time” the characters discover the good news that Jesus came to fight the powers of darkness and evil. And the good news of the Christmas is the miracle of the incarnation, that God shows up to be our light in the midst of the darkness #jesus #christmas #awrinkleintime #incarnation

John 1 says Jesus gives us power to become children of God. On Christmas we celebrate that through the work of Christ we are all part of God’s big and perfectly imperfect family #family #jesus #christmas #christian #love

Jesus’ family doesn’t look like so called perfect families, and it’s okay if our families don’t look like that. Jesus adopts us into God’s family, the church, and God’s family is big, complicated, diverse, and united together in Christ #family #christmas #jesus #church #love

The characters in “A Wrinkle in Time” fight the darkness of evil through the light of Christ. In our world Christ too shines into those dark places to drive out sin and evil, and through the miracle of the incarnation, he knits humanity and God together #christmas #incarnation #awrinkleintime #hope
