A Prophet’s Doubt In Prison

“And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?” (Matthew 11:3)
Text — Matthew 11:1-6
Message
There are many ups and downs in life, and sometimes things hardly turn out the way we had planned. Incidents like illness, the death of a loved one, financial instability, and academic difficulties are all parts of the many challenges we face in life. Many times, these make us to doubt and question what life has for us. According to the passage, John, the forerunner of Jesus Christ, experienced loneliness and neglect during his trial and persecution. He was concerned and felt that Jesus had not shown him any sympathy during his hardships. John, the Baptist was overwhelmed by the challenges he was facing and began to speak like somebody that was not a prophet.
Dear Christian youth, how do you feel when faced with life’s problems? Do you resort to self-pity and doubting the unchanging precious promises of God? He knows who you are and all you are going through. When faced with challenges, you can find solace in God. Be rest assured of His presence and never forget that He will defend and protect you.
