With awe and wonder the hearers looked

upon Jesus. They questioned with

themselves, Is this the Christ?

They saw that Jesus bore no tokens of

worldly wealth or greatness. His clothing was

plain and simple, such as poor people wore.

But in His pale, worn face was something that

moved their hearts.

In that face they read dignity and power; and

every glance of the eye, every feature of the

countenance, spoke of divine compassion and

unutterable love.

But the messengers from Jerusalem were not

drawn to the Saviour. John had not said that

which they desired to hear. They expected

the Messiah to come as a great conqueror.

They saw that this was not the mission of

Jesus, and in disappointment they turned

from Him.
