Luke 23:8-12 - You Can't Swim in Shallow Water
Listen now
Description
In Herod we find one of the most superficial people in the Bible. Herod is an example of a person who is more concerned with looking good in front of other people than in doing what is right. There are probably many people in church whose experience with God is shallow and superficial.  Sometimes when Christians do not get what they want from God, they end up turning their backs to God or walking away from Him, simply because God didn’t do it their way. Until our commitment to Jesus Christ becomes real and deep, we won’t progress as Christians, and we won’t enter into the rich experience of fellowship and friendship with the Son of God. Other passages: Matthew 14:1-11; Mark 6:14-29; John 14:6; John 5:24; 1 Corinthians 1:9.
