Today's Bible reading is the 11th chapter of the Book of Matthew. You can read it here on Bible Gateway: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+11&version=NASB

In today's scripture passage Matthew tells us that while imprisoned, John the Baptist had sent some of his disciples to ask Jesus this important question, "Are You the Expected One, or shall we look for someone else?". Jesus instructed John's disciples to return to him and report to him the things that they had seen Him do and heard Him say. Without using the words, Jesus was telling John, "Yes, I am He. Do not look for some else." What a great and glorious answer. Jesus IS the "Expected One"! We should not look for another. All such looking is in vain.

Near the end of the chapter Matthew is inspired by God to share these powerful words spoken by Jesus: "All things have been handed over to Me by My Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father; nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him." I sit here today as a recipient of God's graciousness in Christ Jesus. I am privileged to find myself among those that the Son has willed to reveal His Father to. There is no greater blessing, as all others find their true meaning in Him. Yes, Jesus IS the "Expected One". We need not look for another!
