DANGEROUS
LUKE 2:15-20
MATTHEW 2:16
The entry way of God into human history was also a dangerous way. An unattended stable birth was risky, partnering with an ordinary couple, counting on shepherds and foreigners, working without official Jewish approval and in the face of opposition was downright dangerous. Herod's murderous attempt to eliminate Jesus, described in Matthew, is just the most dramatic proof that the Bethlehem Way was fraught with risk and vulnerability.
