Let us muse again today from Matthew 11:7 and the theme of Jesus the king. In our text for today we find the honoring of John. John has honored Jesus by giving his life for Him and now Jesus honors John. He asked the multitude when you went into the wilderness to hear John was he like a reed shaken in the wind? When you heard him did he have his finger in the air to check what was the popular religious or politically correct way to say it? He was not a man pleaser but a God pleaser. When you heard John you only heard what thus sayeth the Lord because of that Jesus honored John.
