They were looking for an adult, but He came as a little infant Babe,
and so they missed Him.
They were looking for a lion, but He came as a Lamb,
and so they missed Him.
They were looking for a warrior, but He came as a Peacemaker,
and so they missed Him.
They were looking for a king, but He came as a Servant,
and so they missed Him.
They were looking for liberation from Rome, but He submitted to the Roman State,
and so they missed Him.
They were looking for their temporal needs to be met, but He came to meet their spiritual and eternal needs, and so 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;
Do Not Miss Him.
