I’m always interested in the statements from scripture that ask the question “Are you the one”, “Are you the coming Messiah”, or state the fact “I know the Messiah is coming”. People were living their lives looking for and anticipating the Messiah coming. They had a desire to have Him come and this had to have affected how they lived their lives. We, on the other hand, know He as come and that He is coming again. I have to wonder if there is more expected of us because we know. We have more access to His word and we neglect it. We have more knowledge of what His expectations for our lives and we do not obey. Choose to live for Him and daily live to honor and glorify Him.
Matthew 11:2

Hebrews 10:37

John 11:27
She said to him, “Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming into the world
