Summary

In the Gospel accounts of the life of Jesus, we often see people responding to what Jesus has claimed about who he is. John the Baptist asks Jesus: “Are you the one?” This sermon explores why that question is so important, and what Jesus’s answer is. We will see: 1) John’s condition; 2) John’s question; 3) Jesus’ credentials; and 4) Jesus’ challenge. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on September 7, 2014. Series: Matthew 11 - The One Who Gives You Rest. Scripture: Matthew 11:1-6. Today's podcast is brought to you by Gospel in Life, the site for all sermons, books, study guides and resources from Timothy Keller and Redeemer Presbyterian Church.

0:47.8	heard about the deeds of the Messiah, he sent his disciples to ask him,
0:52.0	are you the one who is to come? Or should we expect someone else?
0:59.2	Jesus replied, go back and report to John what you hear and see. The blind receive sight,
1:08.0	the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cleansed, the deaf here, the dead are raised,
1:15.4	and the good news is proclaimed to the poor. Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me.

1:55.6	They usually put up a slide and give you a series of bullet point propositions.
2:04.0	And Christians do believe in certain propositions, but Christians can't start there because
2:10.9	what we are about, what are messages, what our vision is about primarily, is not a proposition or
2:17.0	a set of propositions, but a person. We do believe in propositions, but they're all about
