Those who listened and followed came to share in all that Jesus had come to teach and bring to them. They came to be people caught up in God's love for them and in the nearness and compassion of God. Their lives were so much richer because of what they had learned and experienced in Jesus. But others would turn away when he didn't measure up to what they wanted. Many come here today with something personal and special that we ask for from the Lord.
Expectations can be dangerous.
They can cause us to focus on what we want and cause us to miss what someone may want for us.
