Discipled Out of Doubts

After John proclaimed Jesus as the Lamb of God who takes away sin, his own ministry began to immediately and visibly decrease. As his followers became followers of Israel’s Messiah, John retained his ministry of proclamation and calling people to repent. When wicked Herod was rebuked for immorality by John, the angry ruler imprisoned him. Alone and isolated in a filthy cell, with his powerful ministry now shut down, John’s struggle revealed that he was merely human as he began to wrestle with intense doubts about Jesus. This message reveals the tenderness of God toward all believers when we enter our own moments of weakness, limitation and doubts. We will also see that Jesus is not so compassionate with us that He allows us to stay in the place of doubt. He calls us to remember and recommit. Jesus will not forsake us in the hour of our troubled soul.
