STRATEGIC TRAGEDY. MARK 6 : 20. John the Baptist, Herod and Herodias; See the sequence; Herod and Herodias committing sin; John the Baptist condemning it; Instead of repenting, Herod put John in the prison; Wants to kill John but not executing it because of people; Slowly getting understanding about Johns holiness and righteousness; Trying to protect John from Herodias fury; Gladly listening and obeying John, but keeping him in prison; Yes, Keeping John in the prison and Herodias on the throne; A secret battle to balance the truth and the sin; But, the enemy waits, if necessary for years, to kill the truth; If necessary, she will use even her daughter; If necessary, she will spoil even Herods birthday party; She waits for an opportunity to eliminate the truth; Even if Herod hesitates, no option given; Party,Promise, Guests, Checkmate; A subtle strategy to enjoy tragedy; Poor Herod; So close to truth, so eager to obey, but powerless; His double game becoming a tool in the hand of the enemy; Is it possible to celebrate any more birthday in the true sense? Heard about Jesus, but remembered John, a resurrected John! You know his story, his fears, the strategy and the tragedy; But, Am I not doing it, like Herod? Going away from God to please some herodias, Hearing the Word, but not repenting, becoming furious, Playing double game; trying to balance sin and truth; No sharp decision, No separation, somehow manage! For years, keeping sin on the throne and Truth in the prison! So successful in balancing; the Word and the world; Balancing Christian life or Balanced Christian life? But, remember the sequence; the enemy waits, if necessary for years; To catch you, to humiliate you, to make you feel worthless; Even to the extend of getting confused about JESUS, like Herod; Yes, you know the story, the fears, the strategy, the tragedy; The enemy waits; but why you wait? To come to senses; to take a sharp decision, to enthrone the Truth? Please dont wait, at least now, repent, come back to the Saviour; He only can save us from the enemy, from the sin, from the world, From the strategic tragedy, by His Blood, by His Word, by the Spirit; Please dont wait, come back, The Truth is waiting! MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE, AND I KNOW THEM, AND THEY FOLLOW ME.( JOHN 10 : 27 )
