The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
In this discussion, Steve Gregg examines the story of Herod and John the Baptist, highlighting the prevalence of guilt and paranoia in those who act wickedly. Gregg also touches on John's rebuke of Herod for his unlawful marriage, and how this resulted in his arrest and subsequent beheading. The discussion also covers the feeding of the 5,000, with Gregg noting that while the synoptic accounts present it as a miracle, John's version focuses more on the multitudes following Jesus for food. Overall, Gregg presents an insightful and engaging analysis of these biblical events.
