Lent 2014 day 12 by ric gustafson
Matthew 11:6- ' Happy are those who don't stumble and fall because of me'.
The Hebrew people for hundreds of years had been waiting for a descendant of King David to take back the throne. John questioned Jesus if he was really the Messiah. Jesus answered by telling his cousin that he was fulfilling the prophecies. Those prophecies were about the Messiah transforming people into citizens of God's Kingdom.
Jesus came not to rule an earthly kingdom but to introduce his father's kingdom. His goal is that people will see past their expectations and recognize his Son Jesus.
