Luke 7:18 “Then the disciples of John reported to him concerning all these things.”
John was locked away in prison at this time. His disciples kept him abreast of all the happenings in Jerusalem, and especially concerning Christ. John had quite a large following, and continued to have one even after the beginning of the church. The most notable of the late disciples of John was Apollos. John had been faithful and many had repented and made their hearts ready to receive the Christ.
Heavenly Father, may we be ever faithful to You! In all things You have been so merciful. Your faithfulness is perfect. You are ever the same, and Your love holds true at all times. We will look to You in the midst of it all. Thank you for Your grace in making righteousness possible in Christ. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
