Ignoring Herod

Commenting on Jesus’ lack of interaction with Herod and his ways, Eugene Peterson notes that,

Jesus ignored the world of power and accomplishment that was brilliantly on display all around him. He chose to work on the margins of society, with unimportant people, giving particular attention to the weak, the disturbed, the powerless. (The Jesus Way, p.204)

There’s something to chew on.
