Matthew 11:6

Mathew 11:6 “and blessed is he who is not offended because of me.”

I can only imagine the way john felt when he was in prison for serving Jesus. here he was serving Jesus most of his life pronouncing him as the messiah . The last place he probably expected to be was in a cell.

This makes me think about how many times I do something expecting a good outcome and have been disappointed because it wasn’t what I expected. The failure of my expectation being met soon leads to me questioning Jesus, lines like “where are you god?” or  “I Mathew 18nd the problem and it got worse, maybe your not really there.”

Its easy to get cought up in my narrow-minded eyes that cannot see past myself in surten situations and get blinded by what I can only see in front of me. Much like john he slowly got caught up in his own head and lost with in the walls of his cell.

 I think its time for me to stop getting offended by the expectations a tend to hold god to and start paying attentions to the expectations he holds for me.
