At that time Herod the tetrarch heard about the fame of Jesus and he said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist, he has been raised from the dead that is why these powers are at work in Him.(Jesus)” For Herod had seized John and bound him and put him in prison, for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, because John said to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.” John 14:1, 2
Lord, John the Baptist was the one that told of You and was the ‘voice crying in the wilderness.’ He loved You and was calling all those that would hear him to come to You and believe that You were indeed the Son of God. Now John was in prison just because someone didn’t like what he was saying. Truth or not that didn’t matter they were out to get him and destroy his life.
Lord even though John was going through a lot of physical suffering we know that all was right with his soul. He was heaven bound. He knew his destiny. He know that they could kill his body but not his soul. He was in prison but his spirit was free.
Thank You Lord for our freedom in You. We know where we are going. We know that heaven is our home and we thank You.
Thank You Lord.
