​​​1008.

John the Baptist Beheaded
​​

1. 

Today's Passage: Matthew 14:1-12   

Get to know your bible. It will become a good friend.
​​
Or find the passage NASB version on Bible Gateway here.
You can search for other versions there as well. Versions even in foreign languages.

Or, for your convenience I have typed the verses below from the
New Living Testament (NLT).

Thank You for meeting me, LORD.
I welcome you into this place.
Please prepare my heart Jehovah.
Thank you for insight.

20th Strategy.
And What Do I Do With That?

  • Open your heart in prayer.
  • Ask God to give you wisdom from His Scripture.
  • Read the passage.
  • Re-read the passage.
  • Are there hard realities addressed in the passage?
  • Ask God to give you the ability to see people through His eyes.
  • Ask God to give you the ability to love people as He loves them.
  • Give God the permission to change your mind, your heart, and your words.
  • Realize that no matter where you stand, you are being molded.
  • Bring your heart back to the Father and pray for those you love.
  • Remember to thank God for His answers.

1. When Herod Antipas, the ruler of Galilee, heard about Jesus, 
2. he said to his adviser, "This must be John the Baptist raised from the dead! That is why he can do such miracles."

3. For Herod had arrested and imprisoned John as a favor to his wife Herodias (the former wife of Herod's brother Philip).
4. John had been telling Herod, "It is against God's law for you to marry her." 
5. Herod wanted to kill John, but he was afraid of a riot, because all the people believed John was a prophet.

6. But at a birthday party for Herod, Herodias's daughter performed a dance that greatly pleased him,
7. so he promised with a vow to give her anything she wanted.
8. At her mother's urging, the girl said, "I want the head of John the Baptist on a tray!"
9. Then the king regretted what he had said; but because of the vow he had made in front of his guests, he issued the necessary orders.
10. So John was beheaded in the prison,
11. and his head was brought on a tray and given to the girl, who took it to her mother.
12 Later, John's disciples came for his body and buried it. Then they went and told Jesus what had happened.
Matthew 14:1-12 NLT

We as humans are always looking for a hero. A celebrity. A bigger than us idol.

“This must be John the Baptist raised from the dead! That is why he can do such miracles."

Only God can hold that place. The sooner we recon with that the better our lives become.
