In today’s passage, John the Baptist seems to be having some doubts about who Jesus is.  At Jesus’ baptism, John seems pretty confident that Jesus was indeed the Christ, the Son of God.  Now, John is in prison and Jesus doesn’t seem to be the Messiah He expected.  Jesus, ever compassionate to the weak, speaks into John’s doubts with words of assurance.  The questions for us:  What causes doubts to rise in our minds about our Savior Jesus Christ?  How should we combat those doubts?
(Luke 7:18-23/Matthew 3/John 1:19-34/Luke 1, 3:1-22)
