Apprising Ministries asks: Who are you going to believe? Because in his book In Defense of Israel John Hagee writes:

Jesus refused to drink the Messiah’s cup… In refusing to drink the cup, Jesus rejected to the last detail the role of Messiah in word or deed. The Jews did not reject Jesus as Messiah; it was Jesus who rejected the Jewish desire for him to be their Messiah. (144, 145, emphasis his)

But the inspired Apostle Paul disagrees:

there was a synagogue of the Jews. And according to Paul’s custom, he went to them, and for three Sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures, explaining and giving evidence that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, “This Jesus whom I am proclaiming to you is the Christ.” (Acts 17:1-3, NASB)
