Jesus had come back from the dead. He had not come to overthrow the authorities of the day but to overthrown death itself. People had been looking to Him for one thing but, in fact, He had done something far far greater. People may even have been disappointed that Jesus had not done as they had expected or wanted but He had given them (and all who believe) an even greater gift, the free gift of eternal life. Whatever you look for Jesus to do He will almost certainly do something much greater.
Awesome.
