When Jesus was born, for many it became the fulfillment of the prophecies as well as the beginning of a new life. Jesus was also a disappointment for others who knew of and suffered as a people under the brutality of the Romans. Many wanted His life not just to be words but meaningful action. They wanted a champion to free them from the occupation of the time. To put in place those who would dare to subjugate the people of Israel, just as Goliath attempted to - 1 Sam. 17. Many still recalling the Victory that made Israel feared among the nations. Instead, Jesus was anything but a warrior as David was.
