The Misunderstood Messiah

Read Isaiah 53.1-3

Palm Sunday

Jesus was indeed the misunderstood Messiah. His own people misread him completely; they had him in a box labelled “Insignificant Rabbi from Nazareth”; the more he proved he didn’t belong in that box, the more they hated him, counted him a nobody and ultimately despised him. No wonder they were so rabid to kill him in the end. Jesus is still misunderstood today. The greatest mistake is to ignore him as if he doesn’t matter or to think that you can postpone a decision.
