Martin Luther's Evening Prayer
Mark 13: Herod, a Tortured Soul
Show Notes

Herod Antipas was a man in two worlds, Roman and Jewish; similarly, he heard two voices calling him, the one to honor and the other to self-indulgence. John the Baptist confronted him with his sin and Herod had him arrested, but could not keep himself from talking to the prophet in prison. Finally circumstances forced his choice with tragic consequences. Are you torn between living for self and living for God? This meditation will open your eyes. Catechism review and the hymn of  Savonarola, "Jesus, Refuge of the Weary," accompany this message.
