The Doubter's Question

Doubt is normal for followers of God, even the greatest followers such as John the Baptist. When he was persecuted, imprisoned in Herod’s fortress, he sent two of his disciples to Jesus to ask: "Are you the One?” John thought so, and in years past he preached that Jesus was God’s Messiah, but now he isn’t so sure. "Are you the One, or should we seek another?” That’s what suffering does to us—it makes us question the power, presence, or love of God. At FCCH we do not shy away from these questions. We take them to God and open our hearts to his response.
