Reflections (and a Call to Shepherds)
Why was it that Herod hated John the Baptist so much that he put him in prison and then allowed him to be beheaded? Herod hated him because he told the truth and condemned Herod.
Why was it that the Pharisees and priests hated Jesus so much that they wanted him killed? They hated him because he told the truth and condemned them for their hypocrisy as white-washed sepulchres.
