"Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?"
This question (above), posed to Christ, by John the Baptist, is very telling. If we believe that Jesus is "The Coming One," then indeed we do *not* look for "another." On the other hand, if we really do not believe that Jesus is the Coming One, then we will do nothing else (or less) than look for another.
Have you ever wondered why people waste their lives, searching and longing for something other than, and "better" than God? It is not because they are too stupid to know the truth; but because they refuse to believe it. But "gods" created in our own image can never satisfy us--only Jesus can do that.
[Puritan quote of the day: "Oh, God forbid that my heart should be affected or taken with anything in comparison [with] Christ."
--Thomas Brooks, in "Heaven on Earth"]
