How did Jesus respond to John's question about whether He was the Coming One?
Jesus told John’s disciples to go back and “show and tell” what they heard and saw. Instead of giving a simple yes or no, He directed them to the works of Christ as the evidence John should consider, so John’s question would be answered by what Jesus was doing.
Les explains that John the Baptist had announced the coming King, preached repentance and baptism, saw quite a few come to his preaching, and was present at the baptism of Christ Himself.
