When John the Baptist
was in prison facing certain death, he began to have doubts about Jesus. Was he
really the Messiah? If so, why wasn’t he doing anything to restore
Israel? Where was the promised judgement? And by the way, why hadn’t he
gotten me out of jail yet?! We share John’s doubts and ask similar
questions, but Jesus wanted to John – and us – to know that God doesn’t operate
the way we think. Through Luke’s gospel (7:18-35), we will explore how
Jesus answered John and use that example to understand who he really is.
We’ll conclude by asking ourselves the same question: Who do you say Jesus is?
