Jesus Eases John's Doubt ~
John had been hearing rumors & reports concerning Jesus, but these reports were unexpected & incomplete. So, he sends some of his disciples to ask Jesus if He really is the Christ. I like that John didn't just listen to gossip & hearsay. Instead, he went straight to the source. What are you listening to? Do you make judgements based on second hand knowledge or do you go straight to the source?
Jesus sends back a positive message to John. He also affirms John's ministry to the people listening to Him. Notice the Pharisees and experts disregard His words. They just want to hear what they want to hear. Are you so stuck in your own believes that you refuse to hear the Truth?
Jesus finishes this talk with a reminder to search out truth. People refused to see Him & John for who they really were. Instead they judged them on shallow first impressions or gossip. Today, take some time to assess what you believe and why. Are you basing your life on the Truth or on misinformation?
