Herod and the Babies

Kill those babies! For unto us a Child is born.

HEROD. He slew all the children that were in Bethlehem and all the coasts thereof from two-years-old and under. Can you imagine? Herod, the horrible. Herod, the baby killer.
 
This vile, wicked Herod would kill all the babies to get to Jesus. Travel forward and, today, we have women in America who would murder millions of babies to have their rights. They claim it is women's health rights to abort [to murder] their babies. 

Oh! the weeping, the great mourning, the death, the murders of these precious children. Egypt, the enslaver of Israel, became the refuge of the great Deliverer - this helpless baby Jesus, the Redeemer of the world, the lover of our soul, this precious Lamb of God - that Herod wanted to murder.

 
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,... (John 1:14a)

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder:...

(Isaiah 9:6ab)

Hallelujah! One day Jesus is going to get this government straightened out.
 
All the precious children that Jesus loves. He said, ”...Suffer the little children to come unto me,...” (Mark 10:14b) These precious children being murdered. How can a mother murder her baby?

The flesh. That is the only explanation. Sin and evil possessing the flesh.
 
The world, the flesh and the devil. How can we as Christians be in love with the world, the flesh and the devil that wants to murder babies? Out of Herod's wicked heart he desired to kill all the babies simply to get to Jesus, the Lord Jesus Christ. The Word Who became flesh to dwell among us.
 
Do we want a twisted and perverted and revised Word? No, we want the preserved, powerful, pure Word-Jesus, the Lamb of God. Would you, today, read His Word, study His Word, memorize His Word, tell the lost His Word, preach His Word, teach His Word, sing His Word?
 
The Lord Jesus, born a babe in a manger, the Word, became flesh and dwelt among us.
