Bartholomew asked, “Nazareth, can anything good come from there?” and found in his shattered hope a fulfilled hope in the promised Savior. In Bartholomew (aka Nathanael) we see our own expectations – too often misunderstood and misplaced, until Jesus meets them and us. So often we expect God to fit our mold and to fit his plans into what we expect and hope for. But God’s plan is almost always different than ours. And it’s better!
