I'm reading Luke 24 right now and something stood out that I had to work through. In verse 19 the disciples who'd walked with Jesus through so much began to call him a prophet, rather than the messiah that they'd believed him to be. Two verses later it says, "We'd hoped that he would have..."
The thing that I can't ignore is that
because Jesus didn't do what they'd hoped he would, they demoted him.
In their discouragement they went back to their old life- they went back to fishing. After three years of walking with Jesus they went back to their old life, just because he hadn't done what they had thought he would... what they'd expected him to do.
What have I gone back to simply because God didn't do what I'd hoped He would?
Maybe it's time for me to promote Jesus back to his rightful place: worthy of my trust.
