Matthew 2:13 ... "Rise, take the child and his mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you. Herod is going to search for the child to destroy him."
It is easy to fall into the deception that everybody just wants to love eachother and get a long. But the truth is that there is a force in the world that is "anti-Christ". As Christians we must be on our guard. Jesus urges his desciples to stay awake. That is not because they will miss him as much as they will not see the enemy coming. This doesn't mean that we become like the enemy, being filled with hate and violance, but that we be realistically aware that we do have enemies and they want to see us gone.
Father, help me by your Holy Spirit to see clearly the truth and to act rightly in the face of trial. Amen
