What do we do when Jesus does not show up the way we expected? That question sits at the heart of this powerful exploration of Luke 7:18-35, where we encounter a most surprising moment in Scripture. John the Baptist, the man Scripture calls the greatest born of woman, the one who leaped in the womb at the presence of Jesus, sends a message from prison asking whether Jesus is truly the Messiah or whether they should look for someone else. If a man of that spiritual stature could wrestle with doubt, then our own seasons of confusion and unmet expectation are not signs of weak faith. They may actually be faith doing exactly what it is supposed to do.
