So I'm sitting here putting a little bit of thought into what I want to do with this episode today

and it's this passage about Jesus looking back on this whole exchange that he just had on the John the Baptist thing where John the Baptist

isn't really sure what to make of Jesus. He's probably discouraged and in a very

difficult place and so in this moment of difficulty he sends his own disciples out to Jesus and being in

Matthew 11 to go and ask whether Jesus is the one who is to come, you know, the Christ,

the Messiah, or if John and his disciples should be expecting someone else.

And then Jesus is like, there's all these miraculous things that have happened,

that are supposed to happen.

They're predicted in the very same Old Testament,

the very same scriptures, John John that gave you the impression

that a Messiah was coming and that there was going to be one who comes and prepares the way.

So on the one hand, Jesus has just responded to John.

I mean, the laws of time and space are being broken.

So I guess that's pretty king to me.

And then he turns around and there's a whole bunch of people

standing there who implicitly immediately like that John he just doesn't get it at all that's

so ignorant to him to ask questions like that and then Jesus points out to them as we've discussed over the last couple of conversations.

They're like, hey, you went out in the desert to see this guy.

You went out there to see if he was legit and then you hung out out there.

I mean, what'd you go out there to see

you is it you know somebody who waivers or is it somebody who's a celebrity with power and all

is no you went to see a profit you went to see something that was real.
