ARE YOU THE ONE?

PRAYER MOMENT

ARE YOU THE ONE?

Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.

Reading: “Are you the one who is to come, or are we to wait for someone else?” (Luke 7:19-23)

Reflection. John the Baptist sent two of his disciples to Jesus with this question. It sounds strange. Did he doubt that Jesus was the one? Or was he telling his disciples to take their questions to Jesus? The first answer seems unlikely but then Jesus does answer John directly, “tell him that the signs associated with the Messiah are now happening.” Whatever the origin of the question we do look for confirmation for our faith and the Lord provides it constantly. if we see the signs all round us.

Prayer. Lord, help us not to lose faith in you even when we do not see the signs of your presence clearly. Amen.
