Doubt in the Face of Proof

Summary

We all doubt. In all of our lives there are times and circumstances that make us revisit what we believe. As John sits in prison, he has his moment of doubt. He sends a messenger to Jesus to ask the question directly: are you the one? Jesus gives John the answer, then turns around and teaches that John was part of the proof (as the coming of Elijah) without ever knowing it. In the same way, we are people with insufficient faith, who are being used to powerfully profess the truth of Jesus to the world. Rather than getting caught up in how to be better or what we need to do to be used by God, we need to simply pursue Him. We need to want to know Him so badly that we are willing to confront the difficult question: are you really the ONE? Out of this, God can make the world see through us.
