Big Healing Book - Matthew 11:4-5

Matthew 11:4-5:

Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see:
The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

Notes on Matthew 11:4-5:

This came about because John the Baptist, now incarcerated by Herod, questioned whether Jesus was really the Messiah. This shows that even strong people can get “down” at times. John was famous for his bold preaching about Jesus. He said that Jesus was the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. John wasn’t doubting it when he said that. Why would he be doubting it now in prison? The Bible doesn’t tell us. However, being locked up in prison for a long time would certainly seem to be discouraging, and perhaps John thought that if Jesus was who He said that He was, He would have gotten him out by then. That’s pure speculation; no one knows for sure. Even Elijah got discouraged after a mighty victory. God uses real people to do spectacular things (James 5:17-18).
