Our Lord Jesus Christ is the case study for the teaching this week. Christ was in Jerusalem with the intention of healing people and driving out demons. According to the text, Jerusalem was a city that detest and frustrate the spread of the gospel. King Herod was an antagonist of Christ. He plotted to kill him.
The message of Herod's plot to kill Jesus was well delivered by the Pharisees. However, Christ refused to be intimidated. He remained in Jerusalem to perfect his works.
