Be The One Who Is Unoffendable
In this powerful message, we're challenged to become 'unoffendable' in a world quick to take offense. The key scripture, Matthew 11:2-6, shows John the Baptist questioning Jesus from prison, reminding us that even spiritual giants can struggle with doubt and offense. We're encouraged to choose confirmation over speculation, avoiding the trap of misinterpreting situations at a distance. This speaks to our tendency to jump to conclusions without full understanding, potentially damaging relationships and our own spiritual growth. The message urges us to bring our offenses directly to God, just as John did, rather than burdening others. It's a call to trust in God's greater perspective, even when circumstances don't align with our expectations. By choosing God's word over our offenses, we can break free from the prison of hurt and misunderstanding, allowing us to fulfill our calling as lights in a dark world.
