Mark 6:14 (KJV) And king Herod heard of him;(Jesus) (for his name was spread abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.
King Herod when he had heard about Jesus and all He was doing, got real concerned and his conscience began to trouble him. Herod had gone way over the line. You know, when we allow sin to continue in our lives we will do things we never thought we would ever do. A few years ago there was a young man living not far from my home. His grandparents had given him a place to live in their home. This young man kept asking his grandparents for money until one day they said no. This young man got a hammer and came up from behind his granddad and hit him in the back of his head until he was dead. Then he goes and kills his grandmother, cuts them up so they would fit in the chest freezer. Oh my you say, how could he do such an awful thing? I’m sure that was never his intention but he kept letting the use of drugs control him. Just remember Sin will take you further than you ever planned to go. Sin will always keep you longer than you ever planned to stay. Sin will always cost you more than you ever plan to pay. Herod’s conscience wouldn’t let him forget what he did to John the Baptist. John was a godly man. Why would I say that? Because of the comparison Herod gave him. Herod thought Jesus was John the Baptist. Wow, what a compliment! In Mark chapter 6 keep reading and you’ll read about the birthday party and the birthday Herod never was able to forget. Mark 6 Verses 14-29
