Tell Me Again

Luke 7:11-35

"Should we keep looking for someone else?"

Yes, John, ask it for all of us! Ask it for me. Do I really know that I know that I know that Jesus is the One? Just tell me again Jesus that You are the answer, my answer, promised Messiah, the One who makes me right with God.

In our reading today, we hear Jesus' affirmation, "I tell you, of all who have ever lived, none is greater than John." Not Luther? Nor St. Patrick? Not Billy G. or St. Theresa?! No, none greater than John. And yet, just verses before we see John call his own disciples and send them to Jesus to ask Him, "Are you the Messiah we've been expecting, or should we keep looking for someone else?" (vv. 19,20)

Should we keep looking for someone else?

The greatest who ever lived, who KNEW Jesus was the One when he baptized Him in the Jordan!, the one who even as an unborn child FELT it in his gut and leaped for joy that he was in presence of the Divine! -- still like me, with evidence completely enveloping me (v22) that Jesus is who He says He is, please Jesus today, at your Supper, this Easter morning... just tell me again.

-PPaul
