Summary
Jesus responds to John the Baptist's doubt about his messianic identity by pointing to fulfilled prophecy and miracles, then teaches the crowds that true blessing comes from accepting Jesus even when he doesn't meet our expectations of who the Messiah should be.
Highlights
Jesus speaks better things about you behind your back than you speak about Jesus.
If Jesus is not the one, I'm gonna get off the stage and go find someone else. This world is broken, it is filled with injustice.
What we end up finding is that we have a Messiah who enters into our tragedy and suffers alongside of us instead of having a Messiah who comes and fights our enemies for us.
