See Me Matthew 11:1-6 After Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he went on from there to teach and preach in the towns of Galilee. 2 When John heard in prison what Christ was doing, he sent his disciples 3 to ask him, “Are you the one who was to come, or should we expect someone else?” 4 Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see: 5 The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor. 6 Blessed is the man who does not fall away on account of me.” AS John was in jail for his true preaching to Herod, he had to be wondering if, indeed, Jesus was the one who save the world. If the Kingdom of God had come to earth, how could he, John, be in jail? Jesus’ words defined Kingdom reality. Certainly as John’s disciples reported Jesus’ answer to John, John would have received the answer he needed to rest in the assurance that the King had, indeed, come. What do you need to see the Kingdom in your life? Do you sometimes look at your circumstances and feel Jesus hasn’t come to you, hasn’t saved you, and hasn’t made a difference in your life? Do you ask him in your heart and mind, “Are you the one?” Then be as John and seek an answer. You can ask Jesus personally in your prayers. You can get his answer in your prayers as he speaks to your mind. His will show you his answers, too, in his book, the Bible. It’s True! Pursue Jesus and he’ll clearly answer you.
