5. We need to see Jesus for who He is.

John the Baptizer (Luke 7:24-28; Matthew 11:7-15)

1. A reed is a plant that is easily   - John was not. He stood on  .
2. Fine clothes were for soft, rich people - John was  .

4. The kingdom of God, ushered in by Jesus, has always been under  .
5. It is okay to have honest   for God.
6. When we ask God questions, we are expressing our   on Him and we are seeking Him.

Wisdom Justified (Luke 7:29-35)
