Mark 6:14-29
King Herod heard Jesus, Jesus' name had well know, he believed Jesus is John the Baptist raised from the dead.
Herod killed John the Baptist because John said righteous words, he should not married his brother's wife. Hero feared John and protected him, so he was greatly puzzled; yet he liked to listen to him. Herod is a selfish man and don't like anyone criticize him.
Many people says about Jesus, He is Elijah, He is a prophet like one of the prophets of long ago.
The context of this story is the question of who Jesus is.
Why?
Gild and superstition make Herod Antipas think Jesus is John come to life again. Herod had divorced his own wife to marry Herodias, wife of his half-brother Philip. John had denounced this a incest, and been imprisoned for his pains. But Herodias wanted to still the preachers' tongue permanently and did not miss the opportunity when it came.
It is a danger mind of puzzle to a man follow the Jesus.
How?
Am I a puzzled man, sometimes when I want to purchase something or make decision I usually fall into puzzle, may the Lord give me direction, does it allow in the words of the Lord, does it is needed to me or it is good for my personal desire? Like where I should go next year.
