John came to preach good news... but it wasn't comfortable news. John challenged people in authority, and he was locked in prison for this. Would you do it?
It's a reminder to us that the Gospel is often at odds with the world's powers. The Gospel comes to liberate, but not everyone welcomes a message that delivers a message of liberation and equality. The Gospel calls each and every one of us to change and to change the way we treat one another. This is not a task undertaken lightly.
So when you think back on John's message, what needs to change within you? How is God speaking to your heart? And how is God calling you to interact with the world around you?
