The sermon is from Luke 7:18-25 – “Dungeons and Doubts”.  “Go and tell John what you have seen and heard …” – Luke 7:22

John the Baptist was languishing in prison. Death by beheading awaited him (See Mark 6:14-29). Satan possibly introduced doubts into his mind with these questions – “Was my ministry a waste? What if my message to the people was untrue? What if my declaration, ‘Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world,’ was a false hope?” So, he sent messengers to inquire of Christ, “Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?” In a tender and yet powerful way, Christ demonstrated His deep affection for John. Instead of sending the messengers back to John with a cold, verbal message, “Yes, I am the Messiah,” Christ heals the sick and infirm, and He preaches good news to the poor. Then, He sends them back as eye-witnesses to His fulfillment of the Messianic promises (Isaiah 35:1-10). John died experiencing the peace of God that passes all understanding guarding his heart and mind.
