This week we continue Jesus' trial, but this time it's not with those who are part of the Faith but rather those who are outside of it. Interestingly, they seem a lot more open. Whereas the religious leaders already had their minds set against Jesus, Pilate and Herod both appear to be open to him, Herod is even said to be "very glad". But openness doesn't equate to acceptance. In fact, their openness leads to the same hostile action Jesus' had just received in the High Priest's courtyard, Herod mocks him and Pilate "punishes" him. Interestingly enough, many non-Christians find Jesus incredibly compelling, but finding him compelling is much different than worshipping him as Lord and Savior.
