Stress Solutions for the Soul: Jan 5, 2014
“Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out
and asked them, ‘Who is it you want?’ …’Jesus of Nazareth,’ they
replied. ‘I am he,’ Jesus said.”
John 18:4-5
Too often we shrink back from our identity and remembrance
of our God infused signature that defines our capability
worth and value in this world when faced with
threatening confrontation…
This was not the case with Jesus. Jesus clearly knew what the
soldiers were coming for…He knew what the consequence
would be by stepping into His definitive purpose…in spite
of the extreme anxiety that caused the medical condition of
hermatidrosis (blood to seep from his skin due to extreme stress)
just moments earlier in the garden He claimed His identity and
along with it His mission when He said, “I am he.”
How many times have you shrunk back from the opportunity
to stand firm in your identity; your beliefs; your values;
and your definitive purpose for the sake of being liked?
Approved of? Promoted? Acknowledged? Right? Understood?
Safe? Popular?
It is said of Jesus that He was free from all concern around
the opinions of other people and status. How many times
do you dilute your authenticity and definitive purpose
because of desired status and popular opinion?
Dear God,
Grant us the grace to step up to the plate and own our
identity in you. To feel the strength of spirit and courage
of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Resurrect within us the
capability to stand firm in our beliefs, values and purpose no
matter what opposition surrounds us….having confidence that
each time we own our identity in you we unleash the power of
the purpose for which our heart beats on earth and once
again YOU will make yourself recognizable to humanity through
our choice for you over fear of disapproval and rejection.
