John was in a tough spot (prison) and he was doubting – been there. What was Jesus response? To tell the crowd what a great man John was, the greatest ever born! That is what God does to me when I doubt – that is His character! He looks at my life and my heart as a whole. I am not judged by one action or even a couple. If I am about my Father’s business, I will do the same. I will call people what they truly are, (or are becoming) which means I have to see the furniture, the baseball bats, the houses in the forest.
Jesus graciously received from the woman who cried on him and pour perfume on him. He just let her give and pour herself out. I am not good at that! It is hard to be in that position. I feel much more comfortable on the giving side. I can think of a few carnal reasons for that. (Like I am the giver fulfilling a need). This lady wasn’t fulfilling a need though – just blessing Jesus! Jesus help me become a good receiver.
Here is a question for those who are reading along with me. How can light be darkness? Luke 11:35
