In the shadow of the Moses/pharaoh story, we see sin and darkness played out again.
Herod’s fear, jealousy and ruthless reaction to the “possible threat” of someone else being able to usurp his throne, the king goes crazy and orders out of his sinful spirit the huge sin of mass murder of infants!
Wow! In the shadow of the birth of him who brought the light and who was the light, we receive via Herod the dark shadow of sin, hate and, murder.
“Quid est veritas?” “What is truth?”
Jesus answers that question as he stands before Pilate.
He reveals himself as the true revelation of God his Father, and invites us to know the Father through the Son and in the Holy Spirit.
“Quid est veritas?” Each must hear and decide for themselves.
