The Jews expected a political liberator. They received a spiritual Messiah. And they missed Him. Bishop Fulton Sheen explains that the New Testament is the fulfillment of the Old, and that the failure to recognize Christ was not a failure of prophecy, but of expectation.

God's plan unfolds progressively throughout history, culminating in Jesus Christ. Sheen emphasizes that Christianity did not begin as a religion centered on a written text. It began as the living proclamation of Christ through the apostles. The Church existed for decades before the New Testament was written. The Scriptures were produced to preserve the apostolic message as Christianity spread across the world.

Together, the four Gospels provide a complete portrait of Jesus. The Old and New Testaments form one unified story of God's plan for humanity. Sheen's message is clear: Christ is the fulfillment of all promises. The question is whether we will recognize Him, or make the same mistake as those who expected something else.
