I Just Have to Know
Sometimes, faith brings us to a place where we whisper, I just have to know. Not because we’ve stopped believing, but because life has grown heavy, unclear, or unexpectedly painful. Prayers feel unanswered, the silence stretches too long, and the heart begins to ask, Is this really what I thought it was?
John the Baptist knew that feeling. He had boldly declared Jesus as the Lamb of God. He had baptized Him, heard the voice from heaven, and prepared the way. Now, in a dark prison cell, John sends his disciples with a question that has echoed through the hearts of many believers ever since. Not because they’ve stopped believing, but because life hasn’t looked the way they thought it would. Promises seem delayed; prayers feel unanswered. The path grows dim. And all they can manage to ask is:
“Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?” (Luke 7:19).
Through the lens of Luke 7:18–25, we’ll walk with John the Baptist in his moment of uncertainty, we’ll listen as Jesus answers, not with rebuke, but with kindness. Not with condemnation, but with confirmation.
If you’re in a season where your heart whispers, I just have to know, then you’re not alone. You’re not forgotten. Come, bring your doubts, your questions, and your hope that refuses to die. Jesus still answers the honest heart. Let’s listen for His voice together.
