These stories our in such contrast to the Christmas season which focuses on Jesus as the sweet little helpless baby dependent on Mary and Joseph to take care of him. What a great indignity for God to take on the form of a creature that so radically opposes him that in about thirty years after his birth they will mock him, beat him, reject him and crucify him. How exactly is God honored by Christmas?
He is glorified on easter if we acknowledge the cross. But what does acknowledging his birth do?
