When the Circumstances Cloud Your Vision
And when John had heard in prison about the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples
and said to Him, “Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?” Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see: “The blind see and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up and the poor have the gospel preached to them. “And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me.” Matthew 11:2-6
John the Baptist was the forerunner for Christ.
He was, from the womb, the One who went forth preparing the people’s heart for Jesus’ coming.
His purpose and destiny was clear from birth.
And even John the Baptist had a moment where he questioned if Jesus was the One or not. Sometimes when what we see doesn’t match up with our understanding/expectations of what we expect to happen, our vision gets clouded.
Jesus didn’t rebuke John for his question, He just reminded him to open up his eyes and see past the expectations………
”Go and tell John the things which you hear and see.”
Sometimes we ourselves can’t hear or see and we may need someone else to remind us of what is happening.
Jesus sent John’s disciples back to him to remind him that “the blind see and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up and the poor have the gospel preached to them.”
Is your vision clouded today by your circumstances?
Are you expectations different from what you are seeing and clouding your vision?
Jesus is speaking today,
“Go and tell your name here the things which you hear and see.”
Jesus is here.
He is the One.
And He is working all things concerning you out for your good.
