Jesus is the BETTER Messiah.
Who doesn't rescue you the way you want to be rescued but rescues you the way you NEED to be rescued.
Because many times our feeble minds and short-term vision/view envisions a messiah/redeemer/rescuer who is less than what we need. The Jews wanted a hero to fight the Roman colonialists and re-establish an Israelite kingdom: Jesus came and fought and won against cosmic evil and the Devil's occupation to establish a perfect and holy Kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven. (Reflection on Matthew 16)
Where is your hope? Learning to love and be faithful through focusing on eternal hope that shines through the bleakest seasons of life.
