Gospel
Luke 9:7-9
'John? I beheaded him; so who is this?'
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.
Reflection
Herod had beheaded John the Baptist and yet he heard another going around sharing the good news. He was anxious to meet Christ because his conscience was guilty and fear. When we do something wrong we live with a guilty feeling because we commit sin. Only Christ can free us. Do you believe only Christ has the power to forgive sin?
Let us pray
Lord Jesus help us to walk in your foot steps so that we will not sin.
Amen
