Have No Doubt
Luke 7:19-23 (American Standard Version)19 And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to the Lord, saying, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another? 20 And when the men were come unto him, they said, John the Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another? 21 In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and on many that were blind he bestowed sight. 22 And he answered and said unto them, Go and tell John the things which ye have seen and heard; the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have good tidings preached to them. 23 And blessed is he, whosoever shall find no occasion of stumbling in me.
Good Morning,
John the Baptist was in prison and asked two of his followers to find Jesus. He wanted his disciples to ask Jesus if He was the One that they were looking for or should they look for another. After all that John experienced of Jesus, now that he was in trouble he started to doubt Jesus. John the Baptist began to doubt Jesus because he was discouraged about his imprisonment.
Jesus went about doing the things that He was sent to do. He healed people of diseases and plagues. He continued to cast out demons and gave the blind sight. Although John the Baptist was in prison and was discouraged about Jesus not coming to free him Jesus continued with His ministry. Jesus told John’s disciples to tell him what they saw. Give John the testimony of the things that I have done. Look at John’s dilemma. Jesus is performing miracles but He is not coming for me. How many times have people witnessed to you yet you still doubted the power of God? How many times have you witnessed someone else’s miracle but you are in need of your own miracle? Why isn’t Jesus showing up for you?
Jesus said, “blessed is he, whosoever shall find no occasion of stumbling in me”. So many times, we walk so far with Christ then when the going gets tough, we tend to shrink into doubt. “Why is God doing this to me”? If God was a loving God, he wouldn’t let me go through this”. I wish I would have $10 for every time I heard, “I tried God and my life got worst. 1 Peter 1:7 states, That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ. No matter what we go through do not lose faith in Christ. I believe that if John the Baptist did not doubt Jesus, the outcome would have been different. There has been so many times that I could not see a way out of a situation and Jesus showed up right on time. Without faith, it is impossible to please God. Put your trust in Jesus and leave it there.
