A bit of pre-Lenten thinking
I really liked your thought on Herod, being a “Jew”… why wouldn’t he desire the Messiah’s presence. Though, seeing his desire to keep things as they always have been, that desire present clearly puts him outside the desire of the Jewish dogma.
Desire is such an apt word, Milton. Cultivating desire for God's kingdom and his righteousness brings all the rest in line.
