Grace for your spirit May 16, 2008

Now when John, while imprisoned, heard of the works of Christ, he sent word by his disciples and said to Him, "Are You the Expected One, or shall we look for someone else?" Jesus answered and said to them, "Go and report to John what you hear and see: the blind receive sight, 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 does not take offense at Me." Matthew 11:;2-6

One day John the Baptist begin to wonder, if Jesus is real, why am I in jail? Jesus answered him. Yes I’m really the One. Yes, I am reaching the people, and no, you’re not getting our of jail. Don’t stumble over that. We may have doubts once in a while. If Jesus is real, why am I having trouble? Just because our life is not always a "bowl of cherries", doesn’t mean God isn’t good, and Jesus isn’t real. Don’t stumble over that. Walk by faith, not sight.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
