Dear Friend in the Lord,
Fear, Insecurity Truth: In todays Gospel, King Herod was fearful that John the Baptist whom he beheaded had risen from the dead. King Herod knew in his conscience that he murdered John who was a man of God. Ponder on, When we do not build our lives on the Truth of God, we will always live in fear, insecurity and anxiety.
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Luke 9:7-9
Herod the tetrarch had heard about all that was being done by Jesus; and he was puzzled, because some people were saying that John had risen from the dead, others that Elijah had reappeared, still others that one of the ancient prophets had come back to life.
But Herod said, ‘John? I beheaded him. So who is this I hear such reports about?’ And he was anxious to see Jesus.
