Summary
One of the things that I hope you notice in your study is that Jesus Christ prohibited the public declaration of the fact that he was indeed the Messiah, until almost the end of his earthly ministry. The Jesus, during his earthly ministry prohibited the public declaration of the fact that he was the Messiah, until almost the cross. The appointed time when Jesus Christ was to die in the cross was exactly the time that Jesus died on the cross. But if he would allow the public declaration of the fact that he was the Messiah before that appointed time, his popularity would have raised the Jews would then move to kill him because of his popularity. There was one estimate that when Jesus Christ came to Jerusalem that triumphantry into Jerusalem, there were some 100,000 people that had gathered. But when troubles come in bundles, when Jesus doesn't act like we think He should act, when He doesn't live up to the expectations we have set for Him, our love can grow cold.
