Matthew 11:1 - 11:6: John the Baptist

Gospel of Matthew
Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg

Steve Gregg reflects on the passage in Matthew 11:1-6, where John the Baptist asks if Jesus is the Messiah. While John may have had doubts, Gregg notes that it's not uncommon for believers to have their faith tested at times. Gregg encourages those struggling with doubts to seek answers in Scripture and to continue searching with an open heart. Ultimately, as Jeremiah's words suggest, those who seek will find what they are looking for.
