Thus it was with Jesus and his claim to be the Messiah. Jesus was greater than the idea. In a sense he played with the THE TIME TOO SHORT 49 idea he used it or more accurately, fulfilled it. It did represent a reality, but the reality was greater than the symbol, and he resolved, through the symbol, to lead his countrymen to the reality. /. And the attempt, one would say, might well have succeeded, only his hand was forced. The people were not ripe for the claim ; and yet he was obliged to make... it. Could he have continued his Galilean mission for a few years instead of a few months ; could he have gathered round him all the most spiritual Israelites and opened their eyes to the true nature of the kingdom and the king's anointed ; could he, in short, have educated his Galilean brethren up to his own poetic standpoint, it is possible (is it not ?) that so great a teacher as Jesus might have brought about the peaceful revolution which he sought. Or is this to drink too deeply of his own optimism ?
