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."

Monologue
Could it be?… No, it can’t… Why me? It's me… I’m the powerful Son of God. I’m the figure 

everyone looks up too… Wow…. I’m just a carpenter… So why am I the son of God? Why

was the chosen one? This doesn’t make any sense... Well if it is me, then I have to fulfill

my role… have to treat my people right… Be the best. Give the people what they deserve 

if they act right… Yea! I know what has to be done… Wow! The heavens chose me... of all 

people. Its unbelievable! I need help. I can't do this alone... I'm going to disappoint many...

No. I'm better than that. I can't back out. A great opportunity. If only... No way... A dove…

My help?? Can’t be. No.. It is! Help? For me? But why? Or how? Or anything… Wait. I’ve

got help now! can do this. Whoa. Now I'm ready. I was chosen, me. No one else. My job,

my role, my destiny, is to succeed. I can prove what I'm capable of, I mean, I am the Son of

God…
