Who's Who

SCRIPTURE
Matt 11:2 & 3
When John heard in prison what Christ was doing, he sent his disciples to ask him, "Are you the one who was to come, or should we expect someone else?"

OBSERVATION
In times of difficulty, a person might experience doubt regarding the identity of Jesus. Rather than draw a wrong conclusion, yield to temptation, verbalize some inappropriate verbiage or allow his emotions to lead his life, John decided to ask Jesus himself. It’s never wise to follow your feelings and allow them to be the deciding factor in your life. While feelings are fine, faith is the basis of your walk. This was an opportunity for John to evaluate his faith and sure up his life in view of his current circumstances


APPLICATION
John discovered that Jesus hadn’t changed. No matter what you go through, Jesus remains true. We may not understand why we are experiencing a dark and difficult time but God is still in control. Sometimes Jesus will change your situation but at other times he will change you. Both are valid expressions of God’s love.

PRAYER
O Lord, even though John lost his life in prison, you are still the Lord of all. Please give us the courage to exercise faith in the best of times and the worst of times.
