Good Shepherd Lutheran Church

One can argue that the Jewish leaders of Jesus' day couldn't have recognized him as their Messiah because, based on their understanding of the Bible, they were looking for someone else. Jesus needed to tutor his disciples after his resurrection so that they could understand how he fulfilled the prophecies for the Messiah. We learn from II Corinthians 5:17-21 that God isn't angry. He is reconciled with the world and waiting for us to be reconciled to him!
