Changed By God To Make A Difference For God

Have you ever thought it strange that the man who baptized Jesus and declared him to be God’s Messiah (see John 1.29-34) now sends messengers to Jesus from prison asking him if he really is the Messiah? What’s going on here? How are we to deal with John’s doubt about Jesus and our own, especially during this season of Advent with its focus on the Lord’s second coming? This is a question everyone must answer, believers and unbelievers alike, because it is precisely our doubt about Jesus that keeps many from following him. But is our doubt based on solid ground? Check out what Father Maney has to say about this and see what you think. Lectionary texts for today are Isaiah 35.1-10; Psalm 146.5-10; James 5.7-10; Matthew 11.2-11.
