Bible Note: Greetings Jaknik! I really don't understand where you see a problem with this issue! John is in prison. I'm sure things didn't work out quite the way he expected. So, he send his disciples out for some reassurance. I've had the same sort of exprience myself. I was called to preach when I was 14 years old. I spent years preparing for ministry. When I was about 34, I had some serious family problems (a run away daughter) which resulted in my being temporarily out of pastoral ministry. As time passed, I begin to wonder, "Was I really called?" "Why have things worked out the way they have?" Does this mean that I was never called? Does it mean that I never really believed in my call? Of course not! It simply means that as a human being, I began to have some doubts. This is all that happened to John. But, however you clear it up, there simply isn't a contradiction here! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
