Now, I have no idea whether John the Baptist ever accepted Jesus as “the one who is to come.” Perhaps Herod executed John without him ever really knowing the truth. My point then was to simply model what Jesus was doing when he creatively answers John’s disciples. Like his creative reading of Isa 61:1–2 (from Luke 4:18–19), Jesus is offering clues into how he views his heavenly Father. And he offers insight into the fruit that one reaps when they can accept this non-vengeful understanding of God…“Blessed is anyone who takes no offense at me.”

Now let’s head on over to Matt 5, where Jesus will offer what is undoubtedly one of the most radical teachings in all of the New Testament. It is also a place where Jesus continues his creative interpretation of the Jewish Scriptures, consistently framing a new picture of both God and of the human being.
