In the New Testament period, the Israelites hoped for a Messiah who would cast aside the yoke of Rome and restore Israel to her former earthly glory. They expected a fighter like King David and a prosperity greater than Solomon’s. They expected someone and something who would strengthen their nation’s position in the world. Jesus was not what they expected. What they wanted was earthly, but what Jesus offered was eternal.
The Promised Land for us isn’t here on earth, it is with the Lord in heaven. This world is merely a wilderness journey, and we should be moving in an upward direction. Don’t place your expectations in a deteriorating world; place your expectations in something greater.
