Wickedness will go to great lengths to hide from discovery or challenge. Children’s innocence reminds us who we are, when untouched by evil. So King Herod plotted to kill the children when he believed one of them might be the divine King, come to unseat him. All of which may be why God chose to be revealed in a child and Jesus taught us to become like children … so that we too would challenge unjust power in the world by being ourselves – wise as serpents, innocent as doves.
