Herod and Jesus: They were both kings. They both died excruciatingly painful deaths. They both built kingdoms. They both had powerful, formidable enemies. Both significantly affected history. They both lived at the same time in history, and they both lived in the same part of the world.
And they both left an empty tomb.
King Herod was a wicked man. King Jesus was the epitome of goodness and purity.
King Herod was a maniacal, delusional, paranoid tyrant who killed his own family members and any other perceived threats to his power. King Jesus was a clear-headed servant who loved His family to the end and laid down His power for their sakes.
King Herod was of course the perpetrator of the great slaughter of the innocents after Christ was born and the source of untold injustice and brutality. King Jesus was the great protector of the innocents and the source of perfect justness and untold kindness.
King Herod built multiple palaces and recreation areas for his own pleasure. King Jesus left the courts of heaven and had no place to lay His head.
King Herod built monuments to himself and was a shrewd politician and conqueror. King Jesus sacrificed Himself for the good of others and was a humble teacher and servant.
