Are We Failing Somebody-?

Monday. Mark 9: 1 1-18.

People e.xpect much of Jesus’ followers. They class us with him. What he did we can do, they think. They come to us expectantly, when we least think it. Without saying so, they bring their needs to us, their difhculties, temptations, hungry hearts, themselves. They expect something. They have a right to, too. Arc we failing them? and Jesus? and ourselves? Then they quit expecting if they find we haven’t anything. That’s the worst failure of all.
