the news of the beheading of the baptist must not have come easy to the heart and spirit of jesus. mere sight of the suffering crowd was enough for him to be deeply moved. john was particularly close to him, will his death not affect jesus much more intimately? and on top of this is a foreboding future, the baptist’s fate might just be the very same end that he himself will later face, death. yet jesus in the depth of his spirit showed us a beautiful truth about loving: with all these preoccupations, difficulty and even grief, one can still decide and give in to love!
