Expectations

Expectations

Advent 3C     Luke 7:18-28

Life can hardly be lived without expectations. They can be too low or high or misguided but we have them. So the issue is managing expectations. And this is true not only at Christmas time but generally in our relationship to God…

This is the story of our text for today. John the Baptist, in prison, has some doubts about Jesus and who he is. His doubts stem from some misguided expectations. Today we see how Jesus helps John, giving us a clue into managing our own expectations.
