Grace for your spirit
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 uup and the poor have the gospel preached to them. And blessed is he who does not take offense at Me. Matthew 11:4-6

When John the Baptist was in prison, he begin to doubt if this Jesus he was following was the real thing or not. He wondered why he was in prison and if he should be searching for someone else. Jesus answered his questions with the power of the Holy Spirit working in Him. This was the proof to give John hope even in troubled times. There are people who would removed all the miracles and movement of the Holy Spirit out of the Bible. Then they can make Jesus anybody they want Him to be. Let's look to the power of His spirit to confirm that He really is the Christ, the Son of the Living God. It helped John the Baptist, and it sure helps us too. It will keep us all from stumbling.
