1. Herod served himself; who do you serve? 2. Herod will stand before Jesus on his own record; whose record will you carry into that Court? 3. The Gospel is always counter-intuitive. King from Nazareth; Strength from weakness; Life from Death. See how unique this Jesus is? Worship Him. 4. Matthew's purpose is to show Jesus: to “magnify” Him (not as microscope that shows what is tiny to look large, but as a telescope that makes what is huge appear more like it is). Have you ever seen the purpose of your life to simply magnify Jesus in everything you say and do? The denial of that was at the heart of Herod's misery—and yours. Come to Jesus for a reorientation of purpose!
