Do you, my Brother, imagine that Herod was stronger than John the Baptist because he was able to present the head of John the Baptist on a plate?

There is no doubt that he was not! His victim was the stronger.

Herod continued to fear John the Baptist even after he had had him killed, and when Christ appeared, Herod imagined that John had risen from the dead. (Matt. 14:2).

How amazing people's estimations are! They imagine there to be strength where there is only weakness and imagine there to be victory when there is defeat!
