Israel was expecting a warrior king to arrive on the scene as their messiah. A Warrior King did arrive on the scene as their Messiah, but He was not recognized as such because the methods of His warfare was and is higher than that which they knew as encompassing battle and victory. This Jesus did not fit their mold for what they thought was required to defeat the enemy. Neither were they able to identify the true enemy that really needed subduing and overcoming. But, this Jesus was able and successful. This Jesus can show all those who earnestly seek Him with all their heart how to do the same.
'Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.' Revelation 3:20
"Now in a large house there are not only gold and silver vessels, but also vessels of wood and of earthenware, and some to honor and some to dishonor. Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from these things, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, useful to the Master, prepared for every good work." 2 Timothy 2:20,21
'So Jesus said to them again, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. “All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. “I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly."' John 10:7-10
'Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me."' John 14:6
