This week we'll be studying about people who doubted God. We doubt God either when His promises seem to good to be true or we get our eyes on our circumstances, or both. It's also important to know the difference between doubt and unbelief, and while doubt leads to unbelief ultimately; they are not the same thing.

In John 1: 19-34 we read about John the Baptist, a man on fire for God and His Messiah, recognizing by the power of The Holy Spirit, who The Lamb of God is.

In Matthew 11: 1-14 we see something different. We see someone thrown into prison for serving God and looking at his circumstances, asking questions. "Are You who You really say You are or am I looking for another?" Did I get it wrong, did I misunderstand God?

Jesus' reply is for John's disciples to take the report back of all the miracles that are being done and a message, "blessed are those who are not offended in me." and then Jesus begins to tell everyone just how great John the Baptist is!

Jesus let John know that He understood our doubts when times are difficult or things happen that we didn't expect or understand. But His encouragement  for us is not to be offended with Him but to keep our faith in Him because in the end no matter what happens we win! Because He won!
