Being the Messiah

There may have been a time when John wondered might he be the Messiah.  His message was a good one and in line with the promise.  People were coming to hear and recognized in what he said the voice of God.  He had even the right enemies and critics.  Had he wondered there came too a realization that Messiah was someone else's call, and perhaps he was relieved, glad not to have that role since he was better at being who he was and pointing beyond himself as others had done, others who might also have wondered, "Is it I?"
