Read Luke 7:18-22.
John sent his disciples to inquire about Jesus. Notice the report Jesus gave in his answer. This is how he wanted his ministry to be identified. The proofs listed in this passage are significant. They consist of observable actions that Jesus' peers saw. The prophets had said that the Messiah would do these very things. The physical proofs helped John to recognize who Jesus is.
John was confused about who Jesus was. John’s doubts were natural, and Jesus didn’t rebuke him for it. Instead, Jesus explained that he had accomplished what the Messiah was supposed to do.
God can handle our doubts, and he welcomes our questions. Do you have questions about Jesus, who he is? What does he expect of you? Admit them to yourself and to God and begin looking for answers.
