22 July 2014; Mat 11
Mat 11 introduce John the baptist.
Many questions were asked about who this John was.
In the OT, the Messiah is prophesied to come after the prophet Elijah comes again. But both Jesus and John themselves answered that John is not Elijah. Of course John cannot be Elijah because that will be reincarnation - Elijah was taken to heaven in a new body and John died.
The coming of Elijah is for the second coming of Christ - He will come again. But John dressed like Elijah and he was the one who prepare the way for Jesus first coming.
The Jews wait for the Messiah and of course if John is not Elijah then Jesus is not the one.
How then we know? How then I know God truth? How do I hear from God? How do I know what is spoken is from God? How do I know that the things that is happening is of God?
The sheep know my voice. The way to know God is to know His voice and be able to discern. The way to know His voice is to know Him. The way to know Him is through the word, spend time, wait upon Him. It is a relationship that needs to be build.
