Have you ever desperately desired something? I’m not talking about a new BMW or a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes. This is serious. Maybe you desperately desired a clean bill of health from your doctor. Or maybe you desperately desired a favorable court verdict, or good news after an IRS audit. When a Christian finds himself in a desperate situation, he knows where to go…He goes to Jesus.

Strangely, Herod, the ruler of Galilea and Samaria, was desperately desiring Jesus. He’d heard so much about Jesus, and he’d wanted to connect with Him for some time. Ironically, one of his enemies gave him the opportunity.
