Gospel Reflection
In today’s Gospel, Luke 7:18-23, the disciples of John the Baptist ask Jesus if He is the Messiah. Jesus responds by showing the signs of His mission: the blind see, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor reception the good news. This passage invites us to recognize Jesus as the Messiah and to trust in His power and love.
