It wasn't a choice. Jesus does not meet the description of the promised messiah.
Yes he did. The Jews, however, developed their own parallel criteria pretending to be authoritative interpretations of Scripture, and then claimed he didn't fulfill those. Those, however, were not revelation, but rather the traditions of men which the Jewish scholars sought to substitute for revelation. Today, these traditions go under the name of Talmud.
