JESUS' AHA! MOMENT

Here are some interior monologues by Jesus just at the moment when he came up out of the Jordan after being baptized by John. He sees the dove and hears the voice from heaven saying, "This is my beloved son. Listen to him" These latter words are a citation from Is 42:1, and Jesus recognizes them as being about the mysterious "Suffering Servant" who will suffer for his people. The assignment is to write about Jesus's reaction, his "Aha! moment."

A Strange Feeling


Did that just happen? Am I really going to do this? Do I have to do this? Am I really going to be this? Why me? Is there another way? Do I have to die? All this for people I don't even know? When will… How will… Why will this happen? What will people think of me… Will I be hated? Will I have enemies? Do I have to do it this way? Will they be grateful? Will I still be normal? What if people don’t accept me… What if I don’t fit in anymore? Can’t I go back to being a carpenter again? No I suppose not… Will I really save people? If I can save others, I will do what I have to do… Is that why I was always different? All those prophecies, that's why I read them differently, I finally understand them now, but now what?…
