Matthew 11:2-3
John has Questions for Jesus
2 When John heard in prison what Christ was doing, he sent his disciples 3to ask him, "Are you the one who was to come, or should we expect someone else?"
Sometimes we need to ask questions or just question things, it seems...There are days when are faith is not as strong as other (days)... I would probably think most of us, if not all of us, want to question Jesus when our faith is less and not being as strong as it can be...John the Baptist did...John prepared people for the coming of the kingdom of God...He had preached all his life for people to be sorry for their sins and repent...He knew Jesus and told everyone that the Messiah was more powerful than he was...
When your faith runs weaker on days pray...Pray to Jesus...Ask Him questions, John did...
Jesus wants us to figure out for ourselves our faith and beliefs... Note how Jesus did not answer John the Baptist's question with "Yes, I AM the One"...Instead He gave John's disciples the information John would need to reason He is the One...
