Was the coming of Jesus into the world good? Absolutely.

Yet, there also was tremendous tragedy accompanying his arrival. Herod murdered children under 2 in Bethlehem trying to kill Jesus (Matt. 2:16).

Commentator Daniel Doriani notes,
“Bethlehem and its environs had a modest population, so that perhaps no more than twenty boys were slain. Still, it was a great tragedy for those families and that town.”

In one sense it’s *because* Jesus entered the world that led to the murder of these children.
*Because* Jesus came, Herod ordered this horrendous deed that affected many families. Herod is to blame of course. But it doesn’t take away this point:

Experientially, I’ve seen people come to Christ and the physical aspects of their lives doesn’t get better at all.
