Mark 6:14-29 (October 12, 2009)

I asked our church family, “Who would you rather be…Herod or John?” As we weigh our answer, we need to factor in how often we take advantage of the truth that our head is attached to the rest of our body. Because John lost his. I was startled at the answer by one of our people. “John lost his head, but Herod lost his soul.” When you compare and contrast these two figures, the blurriness diminishes. Herod was cluttered by his internal conflicts and his egocentric choices. John was as uncluttered as it gets. He knew who he was, he knew who God is, and he knew where he stood. How ironic that John lost far less than Herod?
