We often talk about the price Jesus paid for us on the cross. But reading Matthew 2 yesterday i realise that that was not the only cost of Jesus coming to earth.
"16When Herod realized that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was furious, and he gave orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under, in accordance with the time he had learned from the Magi. 17Then what was said through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled:
18"A voice is heard in Ramah,
weeping and great mourning,
Rachel weeping for her children
and refusing to be comforted,
because they are no more."
A whole generation of children were killed by Herod. Have you ever wondered why evil shows up when God is at work? Maybe it's because the devil gets scared!
