No less a follower of God than John the Baptist looked at Jesus’ early resume and sent students to him to ask “Is it really you? Or Should I be looking for another?” The church, by discouraging questions and doubts along the way, has failed the seekers and cynics among its numbers. But John is one of them. Both his expectations and his present circumstances cause him to view Jesus’ early ministry in a way that leaves him unconvinced. But instead of ridiculing or rejecting John for his trepidation, Jesus embraces it, answers it, and then celebrates John the question-asker as a faithful prophetic giant.
