Jesus Corrects Our Expectations

Jesus corrects three fundamental expectations that people held about Him and His Kingdom. When John the Baptist, imprisoned and doubting, questions whether Jesus is truly the Messiah, Jesus responds not with defensiveness but with evidence of His divine power. Jesus then praises John while revealing that even the least believer in God's Kingdom surpasses John in blessing. Finally, Jesus exposes the religious leaders' hypocrisy; they rejected both John and Jesus because neither fit their predetermined expectations. The core truth: *we cannot reshape Jesus into who we want Him to be*. He defines His own identity, His Kingdom's values, and the terms of citizenship.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
