Clergy Corner

Question of the Week:

If I am honest with myself, what part of Jesus’ message offends me?

John the Baptist is a far different man from the one who prepared the people for Jesus’ coming and then baptized him in the River Jordan. There was no mistaking the Son of God then, what with the dove and the voice of God from on high. But now? John has been arrested and thrown in jail for daring to speak out against Herod. Left alone in his prison cell for days on end, he begins to doubt. Where is this Messiah whom he had proclaimed? Listen to the deeds that Jesus ticks off, all quoted from Isaiah about the day of salvation. Sure, the blind see and the lame walk, but what about “liberty to the captives, release to the prisoners” (Isaiah 61:1)? Had Jesus turned his back on his cousin? Have we often wondered the same thing? If Jesus is our brother, where is he in times of trouble? If we are adopted sons and daughters of God, why do we sometimes feel abandoned?
