John asks Jesus, "Are you the one who is to come or shall we look for another?" Strange question since John was the forerunner of Jesus...he prepared the way for Jesus' arrival. Why does he doubt now that Jesus is, in fact, the Messiah? Wonder if the world around us asks the same question of Jesus today?
Jesus gives a sharp rebuke to the cities where He had preached and given hope to the hopeless, yet the city was left unchanged and unrepentant. To whom much is given, much is expected. Are you repenting and changing as a result of the work of Jesus in your life? Your family? Your neighborhood? Your office?
Jesus gives a call to the meek, humble, broken, and weary...He invites them to come to Him and find rest for their souls. What does this rest look like for you? What robs you of the rest that Jesus offers you?
