Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, and
he was greatly perplexed because some were saying, "John has been raised
from the dead"; others were saying, "Elijah has appeared"; still
others, "One of the ancient prophets has arisen." But Herod said, "John I beheaded. Who then is this about whom I hear such
things?" And he kept trying to see
him. Luke 9:7-9
In today’s Gospel, we read the story of Herod who wanted to
see Jesus. He kept looking for him not
to get rid of him but to understand him better.
Many times, in life we are faced with the same issues. We want to see Jesus but are not always sure
of how to find him. When I was in the
sixth grade I remember getting glasses for the very first time and did not
realize how much I had been missing until I put them on. After wearing them for a short time I could
see with a new perspective. When we are
searching for Jesus we need to be open to seeing him in all places and in all
people. Jesus promises to be with us
always. This does not mean only on the
good days or when I am in a good mood. Each
day we are called on to put on Christ and to remember that he will always guide
us along the journey of life.
