* [[Resurrection of Jesus]]* [[Crucifixion]] |opinion_pieces = {{short_opinions}} [[Matthew 27 - Passionate Forgiveness (G.G.)]] |

Although the Jews at the time of Jesus had a great expectation of a [[Messiah]], they generally did not recognize Jesus as the Messiah. There was an expectation of a military leader who would overthorw overthrow the Romans and restore a mighty earthly kingdom. Jesus, instead, offered a picture of a suffering servant as the Messiah. This was something that the people did not expect, nor want, and this may have contributed to people plotting against Jesus. An example of this clash of expectations can be seen in [[John 6]] where the people try to force Jesus to be king, but he does not accept this.

Human reasoning played a part in the rejection of Jesus. Leading Jews were worried about the loss of their political power - there is evidence that they felt that Jesus would stir up the Romans so that they would lose their place. This is noted in [[John 11]]:48-50]], after the resurrection of Lazarus.

When Jesus was brought before Roman justice, Pilate's fear of an uprising led to his judgement judgment of execution of justice. This is seen in [[Mark 15]].
