- 1. Expectation —where we say - ‘Jesus should…’

- “Here’s the key: expectations aren’t sinful. -

But when our expectations become unexamined assumptions, they set us up for disappointment.

- 2. Disagreement — in our heads we’re saying - ‘That’s not how this should work…’

- But disagreement with Jesus becomes dangerous when it stops being a question,, and becomes a judgment.

- 3. Disillusionment — ‘Jesus didn’t…’

- 4. Silence — ‘I won’t say anything…’ —---Here’s where the story gets dangerous.

- “Proverbs 18:1 ‘Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire.’

- 5. Resentment — ‘I deserved better…’

- 6. Justification — we say… ‘This makes sense…’

- 7. Betrayal — say ‘it’s over.’ Now Judas crosses the line.

- Expectation → Disagreement → Disillusionment → Silence → Resentment → Justification → Betrayal

- Disillusionment- is the process by which a person’s hope, trust, or faith in something or someone—especially God or a relationship—erodes when reality does not match expectations, and the person fails to bring that disappointment humbly and honestly to God or to others.

- Betrayal- is the deliberate turning away from trust and loyalty toward someone who has been faithful, usually by violating a relationship through deception, abandonment, or disloyal action—often motivated by self-interest, pride, or fear.
