Do we expect Jesus to show up?

Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover to purify themselves. They were looking for Jesus and saying to one another as they stood in the temple, “What do you think? That he will not come to the feast at all?” Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, he should let them know, so that they might arrest him.
(John 11:55-57 ESV)
Today many of us will be going to Church.  What do we go hoping to see? Jesus was on His way to The Passover - the one He had told His followers would be a very eventful one, culminating in His death, burial and resurrection.  Not only that - the talk of Judea was how He had raised Lazarus from the dead.  So what was the result of that resurrection? "Will Jesus even show up?" I wonder if our response is much the same? Do we expect Jesus to show up today and do something in our lives?
