The Jews are religious people. They were taught to wait for the coming of the Messiah. Their Holy Book, had several prophesies that the Messiah was coming.
John the Baptist was a Jew. He knew that the Messiah was coming. He said "He who is coming after me...I am not fit to remove His sandals. He Himself will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire." Subsequently, John baptised Jesus at the Jordan River and a voice out of heavens, said "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." So many people heard this voice from Heaven. John must had heard too!
Later John was in prison. He must had a lot of time to think and think, and then doubt set in. He sent a note to Jesus' disciples and the disciples conveyed John's question to Jesus. "Are You the Coming One (Messiah) or shall we look for someone else?"
Jesus answered "Go and report to John...the BLIND SEES, THE LAME WALKS, THE LEPERS ARE CLEANSED, THE DEAF HEARS, THE DEAD ARE RAISED UP..."
Are you like John the Baptist? Do you doubt sometimes?
I do. Yet I believe Him.
