my reflection on Lk 9, 7-9

Sometimes I found myself surrounded with people whom I hated so much. People whose evilness stood out. People who take advantage of my kindness and weakness. But who am I to judge their sinfulness. Maybe looking at them from the outside they are indeed evil and disgusting but only God knows what is inside their heart.

Herod, looking at him from the outside depicts a picture of an evil man. He murdered John the Baptist. But why does he like to see Jesus? Is he interested to listen to his teaching. Maybe after all there is something good in him. On the very first place he regretted killing John so much. He just found himself in a situation whereby he was duty-bound to stand by what he swore for.
