Messengers from John the Baptist - Luke 7:18-35 Evidences-based Faith, not blind faith.

Our faith should not be blind but be built on facts and evidence, i.e. the truth. Else our faith is superstition and will bring us harm. Let's examine the historical evidence and discover who should we believe and what are the benefits when we believe rightly. Our right beliefs will also bring us people who will be against us. Nevertheless, we must stay on the path of truth.

Lessons：

• Faith should not be blind. It must be derived from facts and evidence. Not by our like-to-believe or closed-minded opinions. Jesus asked John to look at the evidence of healing, demon casting, good news, etc that he was doing to confirm that he was indeed the Messiah.
• Find out who we should be following. Who is the one with the message from God and speaks with authority with actions corresponding to his words, such as John the Baptist.
• Be glad that we who are born of the Holy Spirit into the family of God is greater than John the Baptist, the greatest of the Old Testament prophets.
• For the good work that we do, just like in Jesus' day, there will be people who will be touched and support us and there will be people who will be against us. Even so, continue in our good works.
