When we think of John the Baptist, we most often remember him as the bold prophet, who went out to share the news about Jesus. We don't often think of him as one who in his final days had a serious question for Jesus:

“Are you the One we’ve been expecting, or are we still waiting?”

“Go back and tell John what’s going on:

The blind see,

The lame walk,

Lepers are cleansed,

The deaf hear,

The dead are raised,

The wretched of the earth learn that God is on their side.

“Is this what you were expecting? Then count yourselves most blessed!” 

(Matthew 11:2-14, The Message)
