Journal

Please use one of the prompts below to get your journaling started.

  • Recall a significant reaction, conversation or event.

  • Explore your fears and what’s behind them.

  • Write about a relational conflict you are experiencing.

  • List out all that you are grateful for.

Bible Text: Luke 7:18–23 (ESV) 

  • Compare John the Baptist’s expectation of what Christ would do (Luke 3:7-9) with what Jesus ends up doing (Luke 7:21-22).  What might have caused John to question whether Jesus was the “one to come”?  

  • What is my response when Jesus turns out to be other than what I wanted, hoped, or expected him to be? 

  • What can I learn from John’s approach to dealing with such doubts?  

  • Reflect on the words of Jesus in v. 23. How does this apply to me?
