It is so easy to be misunderstood and misrepresented. John the Baptist needed some reassurance that Jesus was the real deal. After all, John was in prison because he was proclaiming Jesus as the Messiah. When Jesus was asked if He was for real, He didn't show His Messiah card. He just pointed to the results of His ministry. "Jesus replied, "Go back and report to John what you hear and see. The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor."" (11:4-5) Jesus seldom proclaimed Himself. He let His results speak. People could misinterpret His message, but they had to realize the reality of His miracles.
