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."

JESUS IS CONFUSED



What is this I'm feeling?… Why now?… Why not sooner?… I know what I must do, but I'm scared… Nervous… But I must and will carry this mission out… Why me… I'm just a carpenter… I’m the son of god… It's all clear to me now… I know what I have to do… Now that I know… I have my meaning to live?… But why so soon?... Wait... I have to die?... For people that don't appreciate me... Or even you... I think this is a mistake... I'm not supposed to be taking this role...Can this be true?... All those scriptures... All those readings... Can they be talking about me?... I doubt it... If I was the sign of God why would he want me to die?... I'm just hearing things... But it won't go away... I think I know what I must do... But I'm not prepared I'm not trained for this...
