John the Baptist had been preaching in the wilderness, in the streets and everywhere that Jesus was coming. Much like today, ministers are sharing the Good News that Jesus is soon to return. However, we turn on the local news and we see chaos, we drive through our neighborhoods and we see sickness, disease and decay, we look at our families and see dysfunction, division and despair.
Know that just like the time in which John preached that times are hard. Today, we can get caught up with what we see face value...that times are still hard. But God would want you and I to know that He is at work and He wants us to continue our work in the sharing of the gospel.
Jesus speaks to us today in the same way that He spoke to those John sent to Him with questions...be encouraged and continue in your calling!
Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and tell John the things you have seen and heard: that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have the gospel preached to them. (Luke 7:22 NKJV)
