- How might unmet expectations and tough circumstances cause us to doubt God and His word? What needs to change to move beyond doubt?
- We now have information about Jesus and His plan that John didn't have (life, death, resurrection, Holy Spirit, and 2nd coming). How can that put us in a greater kingdom use position than John?
- What do you think compelled Jesus to speak on John’s behalf in verses 24-28?
- Jesus asks, “To what then should I compare the people of this generation, and what are they like?" Then he answers the question. Discuss how His question and answer are spot on for our generation and our hearts today.
