Did you ever succumb to the late-night spiels of infomercial pitchmen like Billy Mays? Billy was the enthusiastic promoter of products like Oxi-Clean, Orange Glo, and Kaboom, among others. Or maybe you gave in to the Ginsu knife, Snuggie or Shamwow sales pitch. But wait… there’s MORE! Or maybe, there’s not. Sometimes things do deliver and you get exactly what you bargained for. But there are also times when something is all flash, no substance and you end up disappointed. It’s not such a big deal when we’re talking about a product. You win some, you lose some. But how about when what’s ‘not as advertised’ is a promise, a policy, or even a person? Unmet expectations can lead to disillusionment and even despair. As we come to week 12 of our series, Upside Down Kingdom: The Gospel According to Mark, we begin to see a different side of Jesus as He confronts situations where people, traditions, and even religious leaders aren’t living up to what they claim to be—and Jesus doesn’t shy away from addressing it.
