Dr. Paul FaulknerExpectation of Jesus, by Dr. Paul Faulkner

    I don’t know what you expect Jesus to be in your life. I’d like to think that Jesus would come into my life with ground-breaking revelations, that he would speak audibly to me and make my decisions for me and tell me which way to go. But I know this is not likely.

    Jesus certainly didn’t come close to satisfying the lavish hopes of the Jewish people, either. In one generation after Christ died, the Roman soldiers destroyed Jerusalem and burned it to the ground. Only a few Jews converted to Christianity, somewhat like now. Perhaps because he didn’t come like they expected. Don’t let that happen to you.

    What God does for us is often not what we expect him to do because our expectations are not His. He has something better, richer, higher, fuller, more complete. Trust Him... just trust.
