Wrecked Ways

 “At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus, and said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.” Matthew 14:1-2 KJV

The hallucination of Herod the tetrarch on the martyrdom of John the Baptist shows that there is no wisdom at all in wicked ways; they are simply wrecked ways. Even after the death of John the Baptist, testimonials of mighty works still attended the truth delivered in his lifetime. Whereas, the tetrarch’s conscience remains wrecked. Unfortunately, the wreck in wicked ways often appears as wisdom while truth is getting established. For example, the acknowledgment of the mighty works in the way of truth spoken by John the Baptist is an obvious call to repentance and reconciliation; but no one can guarantee that Herod the tetrarch ever surrenders his heart to the call for salvation. Whereas, the only wise way and escape from wrecked ways is repentance from sin and conversion unto righteousness. And for those presently contemplating on the brazenness of wickedness and unrighteousness, it is important to note that wrecked ways imply wrecked weight and worth on personal life until all hope is wasted.
