Expecting Jesus

See Jesus through the eyes of those who met Him. Most expected Him. Only a few were ready for Him. Simeon looked for the hope of Israel. He found Him. Herod killed to keep his throne. He sealed his own fate. Salazar watched for the Coming One. And was shown His star in the East. James struggled to believe, Until he put aside his expectations. Judas expected to overthrow Rome, But didn't seek for power over sin. Marinus compared Jesus's power with Rome's. He found Jesus to be stronger. Nicodemus hungered to know God. And was satisfied when he met his Savior. Andrew felt inadequate and slow of speech. He was given the right words. Others came with their expectations. Find them in the pages of Scripture. Put your own expectations aside. Know Him by the truth He reveals to you.
