How To Deal with Doubts (Matthew 11:2-6)

 Introduction

Have you ever doubted your faith. Unbelievers throw all kinds of challenges at Christianity and Christians, they question it, they attack it but that’s not what I’m talking about. Have you ever doubted the Christian faith, as a believer have you ever questioned if Jesus Christ really the son of God is, or that he is the Messiah of the Old Testament as presented in the New Testament. Maybe you think that kind of thing that only happens to young Christians or those who haven’t been brought up in a Christian family. They might have a temptation to doubt that truthfulness of Christianity but could that happen to somebody who is a seasoned mature servant of Jesus Christ. Can an older Christian all of a sudden begin to doubt the truthfulness of Christianity. The startling answer to that question is yes. 

As a matter of fact, once in the life of Christ there is an incident where Jesus said one of the greatest prophets who ever lived doubted that Jesus was the Messiah. Let’s see how did Jesus handle that and how should we handle it in our own lives and in the life of someone else who may bring that question up.

2 And when John had heard in prison about the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples 3 and said to Him, “Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?” 4 Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see: 5 The blind see and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up and the poor have the gospel preached to them. 6 And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me.”7 As they departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? 8 But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Indeed, those who wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses. 9 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet. 10 For this is he of whom it is written: ‘Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, Who will prepare Your way before You.’11 “Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. 12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. 13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. 14 And if you are willing to receive it, he is Elijah who is to come. 15 He who has ears to hear, let him hear!
