So slowly Herod gets worse Luke 23 says verse 7 says and as soon as he knew that
he belonged in Herod's jurisdiction he sent him to Herod who himself also was
at Jerusalem at that time and this is of course the day of his crucifixion and it
says that when Herod saw Jesus he was exceeding glad he was all happy right
and he and he was desirous to see him of a long season because he had heard many
things of him and hoped to have seen some miracle done by him. Now what was he
hoping for? More entertainment. Guy's brain is filled with entertainment, girls
dancing, now he wants Jesus to do magic tricks for him okay. That's all he can
he just wants to see some kind of miracle. He's heard of miracles but Herod
is obviously not a saved man. Says that he questioned with him many words but
he answered him nothing. So Jesus is supposedly gets people saved into the
bitter end till their last breath on their deathbed right but why doesn't he
answer why doesn't he answer Herod here? Because he's already a reprobate because
he's already a reprobate that's why because if he wasn't a reprobate don't
you think Jesus would try to get him saved right there? Yeah he would have
but you know people you know in modern I saw this guy that was saying oh you
know our doctrine of the reprobate doctrine is just not biblical well why
don't you tell me why he didn't give the gospel then right here? Because he was
already a reprobate. He called him a fox not too long you know a few chapters
before that. He answered him nothing he didn't say a word to him he didn't say
you know what Herod if you just believe in me you'll have everlasting life. Did
he say that? No he answered him nothing. Wasn't very loving of Jesus was it?
To all these people that think that Jesus just never look it's called long
suffering but at the end of your suffering long there's an end to it you
know eventually the long suffering gives way to I'm done with you you're cast
away you know and at this point he's basically a trash collector you know
like Pastor Anderson's sermon about the people that are trash sometimes
these trash cans get to stay around for a little while because he
wants some other trash to be part you know he became friends with Pilate at
this time like they had made some kind of agreement together and they were
buddies after this another reprobate because you know Pilate he wanted to
wash his hands of it but you know he could have just said no I'm not killing
him but he didn't do that he basically gave the people even though they knew he
wasn't guilty even though Herod said he wasn't guilty of doing anything he's
they still let him crucify the Lord Jesus Christ
