Objective -
Jews reject Jesus as the Messiah for some very basic reasons-
The Jewish Messiah is to be an ordinary human descended from the line of King David, as opposed to someone claiming to be God in the flesh.
-Jesus Never claimed to be God in the Flesh.
-Jesus was an ordinary Man.. It was this very reason that they Rejected him.. Jesus’ earthly ministry disappointed many people. He came to set the captives free, and yet John the Baptist was not just imprisoned, he was beheaded. (Matthew 14:10). The Pharisees expected the Messiah to honor them and to fulfill the Law as they saw it. But Jesus condemned their hypocrisy, their greed, and their misinterpretation of the Law.
The people escorted Jesus into Jerusalem with the "Red Carpet" rolled out..they expected Him to save them from their oppressors and reign as David’s heir. They did not realize that he came as the Servant of the Lord to die for the sins of His people. He rode a donkey, a sign that He came in peace, rather than a war-horse, which a conqueror would have ridden.
Jesus’ disciples were disappointed when He did not show any political ambition. Although He told them several times that He was going to Jerusalem to die, the disciples didn’t understand what He meant. Even up until the night before His death, the disciples sought places of honor next to him, confident that He was about to become king.
The Jewish Messiah was/is to bring peace to the world (first time out) this man did not.
- Jesus did not bring the type of Peace they wrongly expected, but he did bring peace John 14:27 " Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid."
This Messiah is to support the Jewish people and bring them home to Israel and oversee the rebuilding of the Temple, Jesus did none of these.
- I don't have the answer off hand on this one, what scripture are you referencing?
Regarding Jesus Death, I won't discuss this topic in Public.. PM ifyou'd like to discuss.
