About this Episode
"How long, O Lord?" is a question of lament common in the psalms. Languishing in prison, John the Baptizer questions Jesus, echoing the psalmist's lament. We, too, come to Jesus with our questions and doubts, and He points us as He did John to Himself and His kingdom. Jesus is no stranger to suffering, and He bore our sins upon Himself on the cross. Risen from the dead, He reigns over our lives. While our circumstances may not cause us to recognize it by sight, by faith and by hope, we look to Jesus and His coming again when every tear will be wiped away by His own hand, and all pain and crying and death itself will be gone forever. Until then, we wait in hope.
