“When John heard in prison what the Christ was doing, he sent word by his disciples and said to Jesus, ‘Are you the one who is to come, or are we to wait for another?’”

It is said that negative expectations produce negative results. And positive expectations—well, positive expectations also produce negative results.

You know what that’s like.

Show up at an event not wanting to be there, expecting to be bored, and you probably will be. But go with high hopes for what will happen and you’ll probably find that your great expectations were not met. “Well, I expected that” and “Well, I didn’t expect that” are both expressions of disappointment.

Our expectations influence how we listen and how we see.

Consider the experience of John the Baptist.

Scripture Lessons: Isaiah 61:1-4; Matthew 11:2-6
