https://youtu.be/iSKONX1ZK-c?si=Xh_W5e9kFgFpcX5g Our study of the Gospels brings us to Matthew 14, which recounts John the Baptist's martyrdom. Herod Antipas, the son of King Herod the Great, was living in incestuous sin with Herodias, his brother's wife. Under pressure from Herodias, Herod arrested John for condemning their unlawful marriage. However, Herodias exploited a rash oath made at Herod's birthday banquet to finally secure the prophet's beheading. #Herod, #John, #Baptist, #Jesus, #Gospel, #Sin, #Wickedness, #Forgiveness, #Hope, #Salvation,
