They Missed Him

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 Peace maker, 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 mould,
He was the mould maker, and they missed Him.

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

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 servant hood 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.
Join with the Peacemaker and we will meet the Warrior.
Work with the Servant and we will meet the King.
Walk with the Submitted and we will meet the Liberator.
Concern ourselves with the Eternal and we will have the temporal.

If Jesus is not fitting into the mould you have then come to the mould-maker and get a new one. Submit to His plan for your life and you will see the eternal need met first then all the other things you have need of will be taken care of as well.
