You'll See Me and Then Know!
But Jesus said nothing. He did not answer. The high priest
asked Jesus another question: "Are you the Christ, the Son of
the blessed {God}?" Jesus answered, "Yes, I am the Son of
God. And in the future you will see the Son of Man sitting at
the right side of the Great One (God). And you will see the
Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven."
-- Mark 14:61-62 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
Jesus only response -- and it is not a defense of himself, but a
warning to those who think him an enemy -- is that he is the Messiah
and that he will return in power from God after they have done what
they want with him. Those who were so sure Jesus was evil, those who
were so absorbed in killing Jesus to get him out of the way, those who
were so sure it was better that he die, and those who are so sure today
that Jesus was just a man, will see him. This time, however, it will be
when he comes in glory. For those of us who long for his return, this
will be a day of glory. For those who opposed him and who do not know
him, this will be a day of unrivaled sorrow. Jesus gives us a powerful
example of courage in the face of trial. He reminds us that we don't
need to prepare what we will say when we face trials, but that he will
be with us and the Holy Spirit will give us the right words to say.
Most of all, Jesus is the great witness that those who trust in the
Lord will share in his victory.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
O Father, may Jesus come soon. Until the day he returns, please use me
to serve others and bring them to come to believe in him. In Jesus'
name I pray. Amen.
