Hebrews 13:1-8 / Mark 6:14-29
The truth about life is that death is a reality.
Death is the finality of the life of human beings as well as of every living being on earth.
With that, we also have not heard of, or known of anyone, who came back from the dead.
So, to believe that Jesus rose from death is not only an act of faith but also a life-changing belief.
In the gospel, king Herod heard about Jesus, since His name was already by then well-known.
King Herod’s conclusion about Jesus was that it was John whom he had executed.
King Herod believed that John rose from the dead, and that Jesus is John.
Whatever the reasons may be for that conclusion, king Herod’s statement is a proclamation of his belief that a person can come back to life from the dead.
But does that statement also lead king Herod to change his life and repent of his misdeeds?
We profess our belief of the resurrection of Jesus. We believe that Jesus rose from the dead and conquered sin and gave us new life.
May what we profess and what we believe in also be expressed in our lives.
Then life and death become a journey towards eternal life with Jesus.
