Jesus didn't Make you Sad

Perhaps this was due to their disappointment with the disappointing results of their high expectations. Perhaps they were already thinking about the end goal of their journey. In any case, their inner eye was not focused on the place where they were. 

 That's why they didn't realize that Jesus was walking among them. Was he different from how they usually viewed him? Is that why he stayed hidden? 

It could make you sad.

Disappointment, and an inability to prepare for it, has also been hypothesized as the source of occasional immune system compromise in optimists. 

While optimists by and large exhibit better health, they may alternatively exhibit less immunity when under prolonged or uncontrollable stress, a phenomenon which researchers have attributed to the "disappointment effect". 

The 'disappointment effect', posits that optimists do not utilize "emotional cushioning" to prepare for disappointment and hence are less able to deal with it when they experience it. 

This disappointment effect has been challenged since the mid-1990s by researcher Suzanne Segerstrom, who has published, alone and in accord, several articles evaluating its plausibility. 

Her findings suggest that, rather than being unable to deal with disappointment, optimists are more likely to actively tackle their problems and experience some immunity compromise as a result. 

The disappointment theory, pioneered in the mid-1980s by David E. Bell with further development by Graham Loomes and Robert Sugden, revolves around the notion that people contemplating risks are disappointed when the outcome of the risk is not evaluated as positively as the expected outcome.

🧩Failure of disappointment expectations

Disappointment theory has been utilized in examining such diverse decision-making processes as return migration, taxpayer compliance and customer willingness to pay. David Gill and Victoria Prowse have provided experimental evidence that people are disappointment averse when they compete.

From Origin

There is naturally no name in the New Testament for the complete body of Scripture in the Bible; the only Scriptures then known being those of the Old Testament. In 2 Peter 3:16 , however, Paul's epistles seem brought under this category.

Common Designations

For the Old Testament books by our Lord and His apostles were 'the scriptures.' (writings) (Matthew 21:42; Mark 14:49; Luke 24:32; John 5:39; Acts 18:24; Romans 15:4 , etc.),'the holy, scriptures' (Romans 1:2 ); once 'the sacred writings' (2 Timothy 3:15 ) into; 'the law, John 1:1 (holy), His writings are recognized in the expression in the law, of Moses, and the prophets, and the psalms (Luke 24:44 ).

More Briefly

The whole is summed up under 'the law and the; prophets (Matthew 5:17 , Matthew 11:13; Acts 13:15). Occasionally even the term 'law' is extended to include the other divisions (John 10:34; John 12:34; John 15:25; 1 Corinthians 14:21). Paul uses the phrase 'the oracles of God', as a name for the Old Testament Scriptures (Romans 3:2; compare Acts 7:38; Hebrews 5:12; 1 Peter 4:11).
