Matthew 14
This chapter contains the last story in Matthew about John the Baptist. The stunning part of this story is that Herodias' daughter can have whatever she wants. She asks for John's head on a platter. I can't imagine the feelings that would drive such a request.
Learning to forgive is so important. When we hold onto anger or allow vengeance to grow in our lives, those emotions shape everything we do. Learning to forgive sets us free from the negative emotions that bring destruction to our lives. We often want to justify why we should not forgive, but not forgiving leads to terrible consequences. Like being able to ask for anything we want, and only wanting a head on a platter.
