John is clearly a man of humility. I wonder how tempted he was to ignore Jesus’ ministry and focus on his own? Thank God, he did not do this. He stands as an example for us today, particularly those with large ministries, of what it means to be a minister of the Gospel — namely, to give one’s life in the service of the Good News and to direct all the glory to God.
Luke 7:18b-23
18 At that time, John summoned two of his disciples 19 and sent them to the Lord to ask, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?” 20 When the men came to him, they said, “John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask, ‘Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?’ ” 21 At that time he cured many of their diseases, sufferings, and evil spirits; he also granted sight to many who were blind. 22 And he said to them in reply, “Go and tell John what you have seen and heard: the blind regain their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have the good news proclaimed to them. 23 And blessed is the one who takes no offense at me.”
