Mk. 6: 18-29: The story of John’s death is placed here to advert
to the shadow of the cross that is darkening the ministry of Jesus. When we
live and speak the Gospel clearly and directly, we are most like Jesus in his
ministry suffering and hidden glory. The shadow of the cross is always on the
horizon of the church’s work. The ministers of the church die and sometimes
violently and pass on to the Father every day.
