You see, the Jews looked at Him with that simplistic point of view and thought: if He is the Son of God, He neither looks the part nor does He act as one.

Yes, I agree. The Jews were expecting a warrior Prince who would slay His enemies with a mighty sword. Instead, Christ prayed for His enemies. This bewildered many Jews.

Christ showed us that the real man God created in His image was nothing like the brute that we call man, that God is not a Tyrant, and that He is everything that we are not.
