He's Still The One

Matthew 11:1-3
​And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities. Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?

One of my favorite scriptures is found in John 1:29. It says that John the Baptist saw Jesus coming and said, "Behold the Lamb of God which takes away the sins of the world. John knew when he saw Jesus that He was the One.  The One who would take the sins away. No more covering up of sins. No, now the One had come to remove our sins. I wonder what it was about Jesus that made him boldly say this? I know it was revealed unto him by the Spirit of God, but I wonder if it was a look that Jesus gave? What if it was a glow or a feature about Him? No matter what it was, John knew Jesus was the One.

Well look at the scripture this morning. Although John had already declared Jesus the One, something  had happened. He is now in prison under the guard of Herod. He was hearing of the miracles that Jesus had been doing. Maybe it was that Jesus was not revealing yet that He is the Christ. It could be that John was hearing about when Jesus said my time is not yet come and wondered what He was waiting for. Either way, John is now seen questioning if Jesus is the One who would come or should we look for another. Wow! John the Baptist knew who Christ was even in the womb. Remember he leaped inside his mother's womb when she heard the news of Mary's pregnancy. But now he is questioning. What if it was because he couldn't see Jesus? What if it was because he couldn't see the miracles? John now had to just simply trust in the word of Christ.

It could be that you are looking for some kind of sign or miracle today and because you can't see Jesus you think that He could be missing or you need to look for another. Let me remind you today to trust His Word. Don't lean on what you feel, see or don't see. Trust His Word! Believe me, HE IS STILL THE ONE!
