The majority of Jews didn't understand the Messiah coming as a suffering servant rather than as a conquering lion so they rejected Christ.

Some people pray and earnestly seek Him, others prefer their personal preconceptions and in doing so create their own version of Christ to fit their preconceptions. When they come to something that doesn't fit their preconceptions they murmer and leave to join others who agree with them because what they came across was a hard saying. That's the folks who will be hearing, "I never knew you" from Christ Himself even though they may once have been disciples because they abandoned Christ when He didn't fit their preconceptions.

Wearing preconception glasses blinds you to the Truth in Scripture. Faith, then understanding.

Wearing preconception glasses blinds you to the Catholic teachings NOT Scripture.
