Dec 23rd, 2023: Unfulfillment and Deception

The frantic atmosphere within shopping malls this weekend encapsulates the rush of activities. Despite our best planning efforts, last-minute tasks persist. Merely having good intentions often falls short of achieving satisfactory outcomes.

Many individuals have recounted instances where unmet intentions soured their relationships, prompting some to contemplate revisiting their families, grappling with the consequences. 

Reflecting on the wise men's journey seeking baby Jesus, we derive a distinct lesson. Their unwavering commitment enabled them to present their offerings to the new king and discern Herod's deceit. Similarly, our commitment to truth empowers us to combat deception.

Matthew 2:1-16
