So Jesus came down and took the believes of God and shook it up. Reading the beatitudes and the sermon on the mount, than applying that to the beliefs of the time, he turned the system on it's head. Jesus did what as Unexpected by preaching these things, and practiced them. Many times he goes at odds with his disciples when he wants to do some thing his way, and they disagree. His disciples resisted Jesus sometimes because they still have remnants of the world in their hearts. Of course Peter would want Jesus to open a can of whop ass on the soldiers, and of course even know we would to, but that is because we haven't let learned to be like Jesus enough to see his point of view.
He could smack em around, he could call down the legion and wipe the Romans off of the face of the earth, he could wield immeasurable against his enemies, but he doesn't. Because that would destroy the foundation of his message.
