The story of Christmas continues in this week’s scripture. God came into the world as a baby. The Magi come from far away in order to bring gifts, and honor the body God inhabits. They stop by Herod’s place on the way, and he isn’t as thrilled about the news of the possibility of a new king being born. His aim is to destroy the body God inhabits. We come together with different choices to make about the Body of Jesus. Will we be part of the Body that is his church, and in what ways in 2025? Will we let his presence enter into ours and receive him through the Body and the Blood that we are given in communion? When we do, what difference does that make?
