The expectation of a particular type of Messiah is also a story about ourselves. We would prefer that Jesus ride a magnificent war horse because we imagine that we are secretly that horse he is riding. We don't want to be a low-status, unattractive beast that is stubborn and difficult to manage.
The Jews were called a stiff-necked people. It pays for Gentiles to remember that Jews were the smart kids in the dumb row.
