Doubt: When Experience Challenges Faith | Luke 7:18-35
What happens when what we experience does not match what we expected God to do? In Luke 7:18-35, John the Baptist finds himself wrestling with doubt. The same John who once boldly proclaimed Jesus as the Son of God now asks, “Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?” John’s experience did not match his expectations, and his doubts began to surface. The same thing can happen to us. When God does not respond the way we expect, we can begin to question His goodness, His presence, or even His plan. But Jesus shows us what to do when doubt comes: take it to Him. When we cannot understand what Jesus is doing, we can trust who Jesus is. Our circumstances may not always change the way we want, but Jesus remains faithful, and His presence is greater than the miracle we are asking for. Doubt does not have to drive us away from Jesus. It can drive us closer to Him.
