Here's a random thing about Christianity that just came to me today (from God most likely) while in church (I always realize the coolest things in church): The Jews around Jesus' time were expecting a political and/or military leader to release them from Roman rule. Jesus came as a conqueror, but as a spiritual conqueror -- to conquer death, not people. So once again, people didn't realize what God was doing because they were expecting him to act in a certain way. This kind of thing happens all the time. When we pray about something and "our wish doesn't come true," we immediately think God didn't answer us. We're expecting him to act in such a way as to answer our prayer in a positive way. But God can answer with a "no." #religion
