Title:
Touche
Description:
John the Baptist’s disciples confront Jesus about his identity and ministry in the fencing of public discourse. In response to their thrust, Jesus parries with decisive signs of God’s action in his ministry and then praises his prophetic partner. What confirms Jesus as the Messiah in the story is the verbal conflict, or testing, that occurs. The way you know something is the truth is by testing it. The Gospel can handle the confrontation.
Scripture:
Matthew 11: 2 - 11
