Cheking it out...

The disciples of John reported all these things to him. And John, calling two of his disciples to him, sent them to the Lord, saying, “Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?”(Luke 7:18-19 ESV)
Word had been spreading about Jesus - His messages, His miralces, and His massive crowds. But all of those things did not disturb John; his one pressing question is: "Are you the One?" What does John expect to hear? For sure, an impersonater could be expected to answer "yes," so what kind of answer is John waiting to hear? And why? The same questions could be asked concerning all the things we ask of God: what are we expecting, what are we hoping to hear? And why? May we, like John be of pure hearts as we ask God the hard questions of life.
