In Acts 12:20–25, King Herod Agrippa I lets pride get the best of him. When the people of Tyre and Sidon start praising him, calling his voice the voice of a god instead of a man, he soaks it in instead of giving glory to God. Right then, God strikes him down, and he dies. This passage is a clear reminder of what happens when pride takes over. But even as Herod falls, God’s work keeps moving forward, and the story ends by saying that the word of God continued to grow and spread.
