Go Tell John - The Petersens (LIVE)

"Go Tell John" talks about one of my favorite stories from the Bible. John the Baptist, Jesus's cousin and the one that baptized him and prepared the way, has a moment of doubt when he is in prison. Matthew 11:2-5 "Now when John heard in prison about the deeds of the Christ, he sent word by his disciples and said to him, 'Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?' And Jesus answered them, 'Go and tell John what you hear and see: the blind receive their sight and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them'." As soon as John's followers left, Jesus turned back to the crowd he was teaching and complimented John. He wasn't nervous or offended about his doubts. I love this because I am reminded that I can always go to Jesus about anything and He welcomes the questions. Jesus was not acting the way John the Baptist thought he would. So many times I am in a situation and I cannot understand why my friend is sick, why children are suffering, why some wicked people are rewarded with wealth and easy lives, and why is God not smiting this person who so blatantly wronged me. In my tiny little brain, God is not acting the way I think He should. This story reminds me that God is exactly who He says He is. He's the payment for my sin and He came to this earth to rescue me and rescue you. ~Ellen ►Live concert version /watch/823=t?ohRC9XJkaKGk= ►More of Ellen's growl (1:29) and more braids: Mamma Mia /watch/AULzV8VKWksKz Ballad of John and Becky /watch/Ei1FVKNcefZcF ►More about Emmett's new dobro in this description: Steel Rails /watch/8JpSuZ-S4LoSS ►More gospel music: Come Ye Sinners /watch/0z5BR0LGfDKGB I Am The Man, Thomas /watch/gdvA5N4sDVXsA Wade in the Water /watch/UKw91KLCYmfC9 ----------------------- ►Useful links: YouTube About page /c/ThePetersens/about Most asked questions https://petersenband.com/about-the-petersens/ Join our Patreon community https://www.patreon.com/thepetersens Subscribe to our channel /c/thepetersens Join our email list http://eepurl.com/dxRRaX Get It Mama Fan Club https://www.facebook.com/groups/getitmama Show and tour dates https://petersenband.com/show-dates/ Buy or stream our music https://li.sten.to/thepetersens ►Social media: Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thepetersens Facebook https://www.facebook.com/petersenband Twitter https://twitter.com/thepetersens Band members https://petersenband.com/about-the-petersens/ Go behind the scenes with @The Petersen Family ►The Brady Bunch: Lead vocal and banjo: @Ellen Haygood Harmony vocal and fiddle: @Katie Petersen Harmony vocal and dobro: Emmett Franz Guitar: @Matt Petersen Bass: Karen Petersen Mandolin: @Julianne Location: Weddings at the Homestead https://weddingsatthehomestead.com/ A beautiful Branson, Missouri wedding venue with a timber framed barn and two cabins, all from the 1800s.
