I was so into explaining, I didn't even acknowledge Trucker's question. It was as if I were speaking to myself, for myself. I was forgetting who I was speaking to and the purpose for it.

I speak as if I'm on the campaign trail, speaking for my benefit, instead of God's purpose, "Just like you are tired of Casey's rule, I can see why the people of Israel were tired of the Roman rule during the time of Jesus.  When they were told a savior had been born, it may have generated both excitement and disbelief.  Most of them believed somewhat in their history.  They clung onto the wonderful stories of how they were taken out of the bondage of Egypt through Moses, God's chosen instrument of deliverance.  But as we soon read on, they were not satisfied nor content.  Do you know why?  Because they hadn't been delivered inside.  That's the deliverance God provides us . . .that Jesus taught."
