When you hear the name Jesus, what comes to mind? The people in Mark 6:14-29 were trying to figure Him out. Some were thinking He had to be a risen John the Baptist because of all those miracles. Others thought maybe He was like one of the prophets of old - maybe even Elijah. Herod just knew He was John risen again. Evidently his guilt ridden conscience spawned by beheading John was tormenting him. All these people seemed to have been trying to fit Jesus into their experience.
I'm thinking we tend to do that also. And Jesus is so much bigger and wiser and better and surprising. I've begun to notice if something is "too good to be true" it is probably from God. This just tickles me. We serve a great God!
