The Israelis interpreted the prophecies about "Christ," sent by God, in a manner different from what we commonly interpret them.
Because Israel was constantly subject to the rule in turn, the Israelites interpreted the Christ was someone who would come to deliver them from the oppressive yoke and he became the Davidic king, ie the that would restore the kingdom of Israel and rule the same and better than David.
Jews sincerely expected a revolutionary Christ, with great authority political-military and organized an offensive against the empire. However, Jesus contrasted with the ideas that everyone had, as he did not incite a revolution, instead saying, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's and unto God what is God ..". Jesus also motivated them to rebel against the oppressors, far from it he exclaimed: "Love your enemies ...". And a myriad of contrasts like these.
people and the disciples were wrong. I wanted to become king, and he was hiding because that was not its purpose. Simon Peter was always the sword because in his view, any when Jesus would give the order to rebel and fight against the Roman Empire, however, Jesus rebuked him when he cut off the ear of the soldier in his attempt to kill him.
These examples show us that the Israelites had put their hopes in Christ to deal with the material, politically speaking. But Jesus, the true Christ, had a mission far more sublime than the material, its aims were more spiritual, as it did come for free (but the soul of those already condemned to eternal damnation). It is obvious that Jesus will come a second time and that's when it takes place the Israelites dreamed of and interpreted.
Now we too are we not confused about the person of Christ as the Israelites?
I ask is because there are many believers who are disaffected with the Lord because "their whims are not satisfied." Living confused thinking that Christ is his lucky charm and everything goes with him to work out How wrong they are!
should understand that sometimes are a few things go wrong and that often do not receive from God what is expected. However, he will remain God and must continue to honor and worship because their will always prevail to yours and mine.
What kind of Christ you expect? One that pleases his whims and his human will to do when you want it? No, that's not Jesus, as you and I must please him and live according to His will and not ours.
