John the Baptist had been put in prison by Herod (Luke 3:20). Though having identified Jesus as “the Lamb of God” (Jh 1:19-36) and even having been thought of by many as being the Messiah, he had ended up in Herod’s prison while Jesus was gaining a following. So, he sent two trusted disciples to ask, “Are you the one to come?”, Lk 7:18-28. 

Sometimes events appear to overpower faith. One can go through a “Herod’s prison” experience and need assurance. It does not mean we have become unbelievers; it means God has allowed events to test and refine us. We need others – trusted friends who will share the experience and encourage. God is not afraid of our questions.
