Conclusion
Herod Antipas
Herod illustrates well, the need of man for a Savior. His royalty and great
wealth allowed him to live a large life. As a magnified cut away of a city map
helps us to see the territory in greater detail, the largeness of Herod’s fallen nature can also help us see our own condition. A humble seeker of
God may be able to find portions of his own fallen character, that under
different circumstances, could also enlarge on a grand scale for all to see and
historians to record.
Yet, thankfully, we have a savior to spare us from our own sin, and when we
sin, to use His truth to turn us back to Himself, that He might bestow on us His
mercy and love, which is larger than all the sin in the world.
