Have you ever missed someone you had arranged to meet because they looked nothing like you expected? Seven studies on the half of Mark where almost everyone misses Jesus. Read more.
Have you ever arranged to meet someone for the first time and missed them, because you were looking for someone who looked quite different? More serious by far would be to miss God himself, simply because he did not look the way we expected.

Jesus is the King, but he comes to serve and suffer rather than to fight political battles; he is Israel's Messiah, but he comes to judge those who assume they are already God's people.
