The Jews refuse to take Jesus Christ as the Messiah , even today. Historically, Judea was under Roman control. The Jewish leaders were focused on a political Messiah who would drive Rome out. Jesus took an attitude of distinct reserve and caution to this title (Messiah) since it carried overtones of political power. He went to the cross as a crucified Messiah because the Jewish leaders failed to perceive the nature of messiahship as Jesus understood it. Jews who follow Jesus today are called Messianic Jews.
