Holy Innocents

Right after Jesus’ birth, King Herod orders the killing of Bethlehem’s boys under two. Rachel weeps. The world is violent, sinful, and hostile to God’s plan. This sermon confronts that reality—the Law exposing sin in the world and in our hearts—and points to the Gospel: God preserves His Son, and through Christ, even the innocent slain bring salvation to the guilty. Hear the Law. Receive the Gospel.
