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 Strange Voice

Interior Monologue


I hear a strange voice…. What is it saying?… That I'm the Son of God? Me? The Son of

God? How can this be?... I'm just an ordinary carpenter. Out of all the people in this area,

why would this strange voice pick me to be the Son of God?  And also… Why here?... Why

now? Is anyone else not hearing this? Can I really fulfill this role?... I need help. Is there

anyone there to guide me and show me the way to perform this task? Why is there a white

dove coming my way? C-c-could it be the Holy Spirit? Can it be God assisting me on this

journey?...
