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."

         Am I safe now?...Oh man...Was that a crow?... NO, a rooster??!!! I can't believe it... I 

denied him 3 times... I thought it was a joke... I would never... But I did... Since I did... I 

wonder if he will forgiv-... Yes he will... There's no way He won't... I didn't mean for this to 

happen... And Jesus didn't need to let me do this... Wait is that more people... I have   

nothing to do with Jesus... Did I just deny him again???? My lord forgive me... Was my faith 

only this strong..? I should have never written my Teacher off as a joke... Ahhhhh!!!! Oh no 

more people I gotta run to keep avoiding denying that I know Him ...

Jesus' Questioning

Why am I here?... Why am I doing this for these sinful people? I know I

have to do this... For the sake of humanity... Because im the son of God. But

still the pain I'm going through is unbearable. I wish one day people would

understand how it feels... What sacrifices I've made for them... . I have to fulfill

this mission. Soon it will be all over and I can live peacefully in the kingdom

with my father. Guess my sacrifice is coming to an end...but on the bright side

will retrieve the world from sin. I sometimes get the feeling as though my

father has forsaken me. Why father... why?

"Pain... tons of it. Nailed to a cross. My time is almost up… This is too much for me. My father is

calling me to join his Kingdom. Look at my disciples… Leaving the world as I know it…

Unbelievable. Gone forever… Not alive or present… Just dead. Help me… Someone… I’m hurt.

Broken… But it’s my sacrifice… I can barely breathe now… I can’t hold much longer. What’s better,

suffering or letting go?… I need to know. Take me father… Too much pain. Stop the suffering… It's

unbearable, and non-stop… I can’t help to cry out for help. I’m witnessing my own death with my

disciples. I’m embarrassed… But I was told to do this… I’m destined to suffer for I am the Son of

Man… My Abba… Father… Please… It’s time. My time has come… Take me, to your Kingdom…

Where I will be next to you for life eternally.

Jesus no! Why? He didn't do anything wrong! This doesn't make any sense at all…

Don't you dare touch him you filthy Romans! Leave him! Disciple?  What do I do if I'm

caught? I'll be prosecuted too… If I…  What do I really want?… I want to live! I don't

want to die. What was that? Why is a rooster here? Oh no! I couldn't. I can't believe I went back

on my own word! I told Him I was going with Him until the end. I can’t believe I broke that

promise. But… But it isn't my fault. Yeah it's not my fault. I mean I'm human and it's my desire to

live so it not my fault… What am I saying… I'm so stupid! I'm sorry Jesus! Please forgive me

somehow!   

Do I Really Deserve This?

Do I deserve this?... Have I really done something so wrong to deserve this?! Why won’t
 
anyone help me? OMG this hurts so much!... All these people are watching, but no one is
 
helping… After all the things i have done for their people... Not even my disciples will help
 
me!... Father, why are you doing this to me?.. You have the power to stop this but why wont
 
you?! Maybe I am not the son of God… Maybe I am just a regular man. No, I am the son of
 
God! Look at all the things I have done in my life… I am have to be the son of God, I am not
 
mortal… Maybe this is a sign, for all the people watching, maybe its a sign for me. I don't 
 
 know… Why God?... Why?
The pain. I'm doing this for them, so I must deal with the pain. Ha....they really don't understand what

I'm doing for them. My mother, I wish she didn't have to see me like this. Its all going to be alright,

don't cry. I will return. Father? Are you proud of me? For I am doing you will. They do all this to me

their king, yet I feel no anger at all, just pity. If only they know. If only they understood. I can't

breath! I feel my head about to blow. It will soon be over. They will be forgiven. My people , I love

you.
