When John the Baptist was in prison, he sent some of his disciples to ask Jesus if he truly was the Messiah (Matt 11:1-11). Jesus honored John — then He pointed to the signs that were prophesied in Isaiah. Jesus has grace for those who wrestle with doubt. He knows that there will be a day where faith becomes sight, hope is fulfilled, and love is eternal (1 Cor 13:12-13). Then, there will be no doubt. But, while we are here on earth, we need to be active in faith as to not drift or become discouraged. Jesus warns, don’t become complacent (Matt 11:16-24). He knows it is a hard task to be human, and He welcomes the weary, offering rest for your souls (Matt 11:25-30).
