Luke 7:1-50

In our faith journey, we often create expectations about Jesus that can leave us disappointed when they go unmet. Through stories in Luke 7, we see Jesus consistently defying expectations - marveling at the faith of a Roman centurion, raising a widow's son from death, addressing John the Baptist's doubts, and forgiving a 'sinful woman.' These accounts reveal that true discipleship isn't about Jesus conforming to our expectations, but about us surrendering to His unexpected ways. When we let go of our preconceptions and trust who Jesus really is, we discover His kingdom is more beautiful and powerful than we could have imagined.
