Enough Evidence....

Matthew 11:2-6 When John, who was in prison, heard about the deeds of the Messiah, he sent his disciples to ask him, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?” Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor. Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me.” John had met Jesus in person. He had even proclaimed that he was "the Lamb of God." But after their paths divided, and he ended up in jail, all he heard was rumors, reports about what Jesus was doing. So he sent some followers to be his witnesses, to look and listen. What they saw and heard was more than enough to bring a confirming report: Jesus is the Messiah, the One we have been waiting on to come. It seems that most of us, even those with privileged positions in hearing and reading the "evidence", sometimes have doubts and questions. Jesus calls us to keep coming back to examine the evidence. It is more than enough: He is the Savior and King we need.
