Creator Sets Free (Jesus) told them,
"Go back to Gift of Goodwill (John) and tell him about the things you have seen with your own eyes and heard with your own ears.
The blind can see again, the lame can walk,
the ones with skin disease have been cleansed!
Ears that cannot hear have been opened,
the dead have come back to life again,
and the poor are being told the good story!
Creators blessing and goodwill rest on the one who does not stumble and leave the path because of me."
Matthew 11:4-6 FNVNT
John (Gift of Goodwill) was in prison and was looking for reassurance that Jesus is the real deal.
That he is who he said he is.
John who in chapter 3 baptised Jesus, who at the time said it was Jesus who should be baptising him, who must've heard God's voice from heaven, seen the Spirit descending like a dove...and yet here he is questioning.
Our circumstances can make us question.
Question God, our faith, who Jesus is.
And Jesus's response is for us in our questioning:
Have a look at lives that have been changed, listen again to the testimony of others, the testimony of your own life.
Look again at the people who have come back to life because of Jesus.
Lean into those stories and you won't trip up or take a different path.
Today's circumstances do not have the final say.
