Do You Ever Doubt? Part I

² And when John (the Baptist) had heard in prison about the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples ³ and said to Him, “Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?”

Have you ever struggled with doubt? Even John the Baptist had second thoughts despite his declaration when he baptized Jesus (John 1:29-34;John 3:25-36). Satan is very cunning; he is the master of deception and the father of lies. He can do much damage by casting an ounce of doubt. John knew what he witnessed at the beginning but when things didn’t work out as he thought they would, he began to question if he was mistaken.

He, like all the others, thought the Messiah would come like His forefather David; A mighty, conquering King. They believed He would set up His kingdom in Jerusalem and overthrow the oppressive Roman government. Jesus came meek and lowly; as a servant.

Is Jesus what you expect? Can you accept Him just the way He is?                   
If you, like I, have ever struggled with this, don’t worry; there is hope. If we truly want to know and believe, God is faithful and will reveal Himself to us. All we need do is pray and step out in faith. He loves you enough that “He sent His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, should not perish, but have eternal life (John 3:16).”  If He loves us that much, even the craftiness of the Devil himself can’t stop the love relationship between Almighty God and His child.
