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.
