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 mold, He was the mold 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 needs, 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 servanthood 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 mold you have, then come to the mold
maker and get His 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.

PRAYER
O Father, give us the humility which realizes its ignorance, admits
its mistakes, recognizes its need, welcomes advice, accepts rebuke.
Help us always to praise rather than to criticize, to sympathize
rather than to discourage, to build rather than to destroy, and to
think of people at their best rather than at their worst. This we ask
for thy name's sake. (Prayer of William Barclay, 20th century)
