Christ's followers misread Him. Following the disaster of the crucifixion, the disciple Cleopas lamented, "We had been hoping He was the Man to liberate Israel."
Cleopas thought on a human level, as did his peers. Jesus Christ transcended to the divine level, as does God the Father and God the Holy Spirit.
As Isaiah 55:8-9 tells us, God's Thoughts are not our thoughts, nor are our ways His Ways. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are God's Ways higher than our ways, and His Thoughts higher than our thoughts.
