BREAKING OPEN THE WORD
ARE YOU THE ONE? (Matthew 11: 2-11)
One can only begin to imagine the excitement, questioning and discussion that must have accompanied the beginning of Jesus’ ministry. Reports were flying thick and fast about the carpenter-turned-preacher from Nazareth, whose preaching was accompanied by miraculous healings, and disconcerting sayings. Was it true that Isaiah’s prophecy about the eyes of the blind being open and the deaf once again being able to hear was being fulfilled?
John the Baptist had spoken with courage about the messiah who was coming and this led to his imprisonment. He had preached that the coming messiah would be a figure of purification and judgement upon Israel. Could It be that Jesus was the promised one? John could not reconcile Jesus’ response to John’s question is simple – you must make your judgement based on what you see. If Isaiah’s prophecy is being fulfilled, then there is no need to look any further.
A challenge for James’ community was that they recognised Jesus was indeed the saviour, but how were they to manage until his return at the end of time. Their impatience for the Lord’s return was leading them into the trap of being fractious with each other. James provides both them and us with the timely reminder that patience with the Lord and each other is a better way to prepare to greet the Lord on his return.
