A Random Advent Thought

It's interesting how we humans can make the same mistake while thinking we are avoiding it.

During His first Advent, Jesus was rejected by most of His people because He didn't fit their pre-conceived mold for what the Messiah would be. They were expecting a warrior king and received a humble miracle worker.

Now everyone is expecting "gentle Jesus, meek and mild" to return. How surprised will some people be when He does return with sword in His mouth instead of a parable and starts judging the quick and the dead.
