Jesus and the Crowds

"What can Jesus do for me? Why doesn't Jesus meet my expectations? Why is following Jesus hard?" It's easy to come to Jesus expecting something from him. When Jesus doesn't meet these expectations, it can lead to confusion, doubt, and even turning away from him. Yet, over and over, Jesus reminds us who he truly is and what he has truly come to do. When we see Him for all that he is, our deepest questions are fully answered in Him. He is what we truly need.
