Herod had heard about Jesus. His guilty conscience thought that John the Baptist whom he beheaded had come alive.
He expected Jesus to show some sign or miracle. It was out of curiosity and not out of love for truth. He had no intention of following Jesus. He wanted it as sensation. Even today, many attend healing crusades to enjoy miracles, not to follow Christ.
The gift is always inferior to the giver. When Christ Himself was present, Herod sought a gift. While Christ wants to dwell in our hearts, we expect only miracles from Him.
Herod hoped that Jesus would perform a miracle. But Jesus was different. This annoyed Herod. It offended his inflated ego. So he commanded his soldiers to beat and mock him. He also joined them in mocking the Son of God.
Do we come to Jesus only for miracles? Do we view Him as a magician and troubleshooter? Or, do we regard Him as Lord and Saviour?

It is easy to blame Adam and Eve for the misery of humanity and death of Lord Jesus Christ. The people who were living in Lord Jesus' earthly ministry time manifested their sinful nature. The traces of that sinful nature is found in each one of us. We are responsible for Lord Jesus' death.
