Rev. Tim Mitchell

“ACTIONS REVEAL THE IDENTITY OF CHRIST”

Actions reveal the Identity of Christ and his Followers

Jesus does not deny that he is ordained of God as “Messiah,” the spiritual leader of all people. But being a leader means becoming a servant of all. The scripture today says that just as you “did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.” Jesus chose this path to the cross and became a “suffering” and “rejected” leader who would end up dying. But many of Jesus’ followers do not want to end up dying and, like Peter in another passage, cries out, “No, this can’t be! This will never happen to you!”
This strikes at the heart of Jesus’ identity and the identity of those who follow him. Just who is this Jesus? Jesus did not use the word messiah or Christ when referring to himself. He uses the word “Son Of Man” or The Human One, as the Contemporary English Bible puts it. Jesus chooses not to focus on “A Conquering Messiah” but instead on one who is the Son Of Adam.
