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."

The New Beginning



Me? Why me? I am a regular man, with a regular job, and a regular life. How can I be the one and only son of God, the almighty? What does this mean for my family? Do they help spread the word of God with me or do I do this alone? Wait. God is with me in heart. I have faith He will show me the way, and bring followers with me represented by this dove. I knew God wouldn’t send me on my journey alone. I have to go tell my mother!! Wait… I should start God’s journey right now. I can write my mother about what just happened. But… how would she feel that I walked out- no she is strong. She will under- no. That’s not messiah like. I can’t fail God or my mother. I got it!! I will spend this last night with my mother and friends and leave in the middle of the night, and leave a note. My journey starts here...
