Glenn teaches on the life of King Herod and his rise to power, contrasting Herod's reign as King of the Jews with Jesus' reign as Messiah and true King. What we find is that Jesus and Herod are opposites. Herod Claws his way to power while Jesus empties Himself of power. Herod kills to protect his power while Jesus dies to save the powerless. Herod's kingship results in weeping and Jesus' reign ends in worship. Glenn reminds us that Herod could have been the fourth King to come and celebrate the birth of the Messiah, but instead he choose to cling to his own power. Herod's story reminds us that we have to choose what King to serve, where Herod leads to weeping and grieving, Jesus leads to life and worship.
