The Sound of Silence

 (ID: 2355)

Herod’s long-awaited encounter with Jesus before His crucifixion is one of the most striking interactions in the Gospels. Alistair Begg notes that Jesus’ silence at Herod’s barrage of questions drew out Herod’s true nature, revealing a now-hardened heart. When we are presented with Christ and discover we cannot force him to act according to our liking, will we respond with the scorn that Herod embodied? Or will we respond with worship and submission?
