Re:Verse passage – Mark 6:14-29 (day six)
This passage is a story of stark contrasts. In Herod’s world, power is built on corruption, immorality, and self-preservation. It is a world so twisted that murder becomes a possible birthday gift. A reckless promise leads to a reckless request, and the result is the tragic death of John the Baptist. In Herod’s kingdom, power is used to take life.
But Mark wants us to see a different kind of King. Jesus, the true King, ushers in a Kingdom where power is expressed through compassion, mercy, and sacrificial love. Instead of taking life, He gives His own.
Mark isn’t just telling history—he’s asking us a question: Which kingdom will we live for?
