In Lk 7, John the Baptist was languishing in prison. He was very discouraged and began to doubt if Jesus was truly the Messiah. He sent two of his disciples to ask Jesus if He was indeed the Saviour. To be perfectly honest, it was quite an offensive question. Jesus then had a conversation in ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฒ with the two disciples. He gave a gentle word of correction for them to pass on to John the Baptist. However, not for a moment was Jesus angry or condemning. He had to speak the truth, but He did so with a lot of love, care, tact, and sensitivity.

He praised John for being a man who was strong in his conviction of Godโs Word. He honoured him for his life of self-denial and obedience.

Jesus was full of honour for His cousin, as imperfect as he may be. Part of maturity in Christlikeness is learning to be loving, forgiving and honouring, just like Jesus is!
