28-Dec-25 (Matthew 2:13-23)

A lot of the things that happen in today's stories from the gospel are startling and even a bit scary, but through all those things, Jesus came into the world to teach us about loving God and each other.
In our lives there might be some scary things that happen, but we can trust that God is with us and will be with us especially in times when things aren't going well.

Let's pray about that.
God, we thank you that we could see who you are through what Jesus said and did. We not only thank you for Jesus, who shows us about you, but for all the people in our church and family that help us to learn about you. When we meet other people who would like to know about you, help us to show them what we know.
We pray in Jesus' name. Amen.
