How do you react to the statement: "Herod is what I am deep down inside"? What does it mean? Have you seen evidence of the claim made by the Confession 1967, "In sin people claim mastery of their own lives, turn against God and their fellow humans, and become exploiters and despoilers of the world. They lose their humanity in futile striving and are left in rebellion, despair, and isolation." How does Matthew picture the hope of the gospel? How will you practice 'deep knee bends' this week?
