However, what they were expecting was beyond what God was able to do in order to be a sacrifice for us. He couldn't have suffered if He came as they expected. He wouldn't have been able to put our sins onto Himself and bear them on the cross has He come down as they expected.

I believe it would have been easier for Him to do that, however. Jesus, being human, didn't want to die and suffer. He even prayed to God that 'if it be Your will, let this cup pass from me'.

Being human wasn't easy, and the humanity He endured wasn't something desirable. I'm glad he adapted to His situation and stuck it out for me.

I thought by saying what I was saying that I wasn't putting Him in a box.....LOL!

There was a reason why He came down as a human and not a King they were seeking, even if it seems that He would have been accepted by coming as the latter. By expecting Him to come down as a king was there was of putting Him in a box. It didn't work, thus the reason for my response to their expectation.

Sorry if I confused ya.....LOL!
