The Jews Missed Jesus...

The Jews Missed Jesus...

They were looking for a Lion,
He came as a Lamb,
     and they missed Him.

They were looking for a Warrior,
He came as a Peacemaker,
     and they missed Him.

They were looking for a King,
He came as a Servant,
     and they missed Him.

They were looking for Liberation from Rome,
He submitted to the Roman cross,
     and they missed Him.

They were looking for a fit to their mold,
He was the mold maker,
     and they missed Him.

What are you looking for?
    Lion?
    Warrior?
    King?
    Liberator?

They were looking for their temporal needs to be met,
He came to meet their eternal need,
     and they missed Him.

He came as a Lamb to be sacrificed for your sin.
     Will you miss Him?

He came to make peace between God and man.
     Will you miss Him?

He came to model servanthood for all mankind.
     Will you miss Him?

He came that we might have true Liberty.
     Will you miss Him?

He came to give you eternal life.
     Will you miss Him?

When we submit to the Lamb,
    we will meet the Lion.
When we join with the Peacemaker
    we will meet the Warrior.
When we work with the Servant
    we will meet the King.
When we walk with the Submitted
    we will meet the Liberator.
When we concern ourselves with the Eternal
    we will have the Temporal too.
