Guilt Free Bible Reading Plan: Matthew 11 - Show me ...

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?” ... ‘We played the pipe for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’  Matthew 11:2-3,17 NIV 

John the Baptist who declared, "Behold the Lamb of God" and baptized Jesus reached a point where he couldn't conceive that Jesus was the One - the Messiah.

Problem is that we have the same problem.  We want Jesus to be the Savior of the World.  The thing is we want Him to be the Savior we want.  We want Him to meet our expectations.

When will we learn that even as we have watered down the Gospel --- played the songs and danced the dances --- the people still reject the idea of Jesus as The Savior.

When John was confused, Jesus reminded John of Scripture and what John had witnessed regarding the life of Jesus.

When the world is confused as to who Jesus is and what it means to follow Christ, what if they could see a group of people living as they believed?

What if the world could see you living what you profess to believe?

What if instead of selling something, we all started living Christ?

Maybe then the world would stop expecting more and instead believe.
