Hey there, I'm so glad you stopped by for this podcast. We hope so much we can serve you today.

Turn with me to Luke chapter 7, Luke chapter 7, continuing on with our theme of being set

up for deep offense, five different things that set us up for a life of being offended

if we don't place our faith in the rock. Luke chapter 7, I want to start, I think I've got

down 19 through 28, but I want to start at 18, Luke 7, 18. Then John's disciples told him about

all these things. So John summoned two of his disciples and sent them to the Lord asking,

are you the one who is to come or should we look for someone else? Now at this point,

John has been in prison as you may well know he's just waiting having his head served on a platter.

Now here's the very forerunner of Christ Jesus in jail. And you can imagine if you are in prison

and all you have time to do is think, you talk about a set up for offense, talk about thinking,

okay exactly what am I doing in here? If I'm who I think I am and you are who I think you are,

somebody explained to me what on the 11 earth I'm doing here. And so he sends them to go find out,

are you the one? Of course he already knows this. It's sort of to say hello, hello cousin in the

third cell. You see what I'm saying? Okay says then when the men when the men reached him,

I'm at verse 20, they said, John the Baptist sent us to ask you, are you the one who is to come

or should we look for someone else? At that time Jesus healed many people of diseases,

plagues and evil spirits and he granted sight to many blind people. He replied to them, go and

report to John the things you have seen and heard. The blind received their sight, the lame walk,

those with skin diseases are healed, the death here that dead are raised and the poor have the

good news preached to them. And anyone who is not offended because of me is blessed, there's our word.

Anyone who is not offended, that's a form of that same word, scandal on, because of me is blessed.

And after John's messengers left, he began to speak to the crowds about John.
