In troubling times it’s easy to question God. “What
have I done to cause this?” “How long must I wait?” “Why should I keep praying?”
“Have I not prayed enough?” “Do You really
care?”
Our natural senses become short on spiritual
insight. We conclude, “This isn’t fair!”
John the Baptist, chained in a bleak dungeon,
asked his friends to send a question to Jesus. John felt physically, emotionally,
and spiritually beaten. In a dark place, infested with rats and reeking of
urine and feces, confusion flails John’s understanding of Jesus.
