Jesus said, “Blessed is the one who is not offended because of me.” 

In Greek, the word for “offended” carries the idea of being scandalized—shaken when something happens outside of our expectations. For John, the scandal was that Jesus wasn’t bringing swift judgment to Israel’s corrupt leaders or driving out the Romans. Instead, Jesus would ultimately submit to both at His death. 

God was working, but in ways John didn’t anticipate. In this episode, we explore what it means to keep trusting God when He works outside our expectations.
