Mark 6:14-29
The Days of Our Lives
This passage from Mark is the stuff daytime soap operas are made of, mistaken identities, infidelity, persons played as pawns for power, greed, and revenge. Whether it is 30 or 2024 CE, these are the days of our lives. Situated after Jesus sending the twelve out two by two, this story about John the Baptist’s death foreshadows the danger of speaking God’s truth in Jesus Christ. It is for all the dirty deeds in this ancient soap opera, and our lives that God sent his only so that we can be made clean. Have a listen as we air out King Herod and family’s dirty laundry, and learn a thing or two from it for ourselves.
