Not what I expected. Whether we are disappointed or pleasantly surprised things are not always what they seem. As we go through life, experience preconditions us to see others and circumstances in light of our expectations or personal experiences. As we go through life, our expectations become a deep hunger deep inside directing how we live our lives. God wants us to have expectations but he wants our expectations to adjust to make room for his unfathomable greatness. In this passage, we will see Jesus’ encounter with John the Baptist where Jesus will invite John to let go of what has defined him so far to make room for God’s greater plan. In doing so, Jesus will reveal the tension between our deepest hunger and longings and his provision to fulfill them.
