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."

"You are my Son, my beloved"

Interior Monologue
By Aidan J Rodgers

Was that the voice of God? The God that I praised to this very day? I may just be going crazy. I, of

all people, am God’s child?… That's insane. I’m just an average carpenter that does things just like

the next person. I guess I have an even bigger role in this life than my current job.. What was it

again?... Carpenter, right! I'm beginning to lose my memory now. I just need to calm down. This is

for the best. Still, how do I help this world? Do I have a special power given to me? Or maybe I was

born with the power, or ability, or whatever God gave me. Is it strength to unite the land, or power to

destroy it? I'm almost scared to find out. I Guess its my destiny, my reason for living, for even being

born. I guess I will have to fulfill the duty that God, I mean my father, has given to me. I hope I don't

fail...But what if I do?...
