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."

Interior Monologue-The Baptism of Jesus

I now get this…. This is what I have to do….. Yet out of all the people in

the world, why have you chosen me Lord?... For real though... If anyone

should be chosen, it shouldn’t be me... It can’t be ….You have got his

wrong dove! But I’m only the son of a carpenter, and you’re telling me 

that I have to bear the sins of the world … the pain I must endure… Yet

God is unwavering and makes no error is his ways, this was intended

for me, and now… I can’t relinquish my calling from God that necessity

dictates... There is now but one path that I must take and it has been

revealed to me by God . I hope the path and journey ahead of me is not

too treacherous and dire….
