Herod was so excited to finally see Jesus. But in God’s word, we get a real insight into who this great miracle worker was and is, and we are left knowing that with a powerful love and an amazing ability to teach, He changed the course of mankind forever!

Isaiah 9:6- “For unto us a child was born”…, and He became the greatest teacher of all, the true miracle worker. A life that was spiraling out of control became a great testament to the power of love and having the right teacher.
