Luke 7:18-23

 

Jesus declared that John the Baptist was the greatest man who ever lived up to that time, and yet, here we find John battling doubt. Exercising his capacity to think rationally, John continued to distinguish truth from error, resolving to have his doubt relieved once and for all. In this passage we learn that the path to genuine faith can be paved with doubt from a confused heart; certainty is found in Jesus Christ alone.
