OK, got a little off-track with 2 funerals and Christmas shopping. I need to finish this.
When Jesus said, "I am he," they drew back and fell to the ground.
Being in the presence of Jesus was overwhelming for these people. Although they had come there looking for blood to be spilled, they heard Jesus speak and they were obviously afraid and awed by him. I love the power that Jesus had even in this situation which makes him look powerless. He is about to be arrested (and He knows it) and yet, the people recognize His authority. Maybe it was in their souls that they knew who He was.
I love the times when I feel the closest to Jesus and His power and majesty overwhelm me. It doesn't happen often enough, but when it does it comes suddenly and nearly always makes me want to kneel. My Savior is so powerful and mighty, yet He is so loving and compassionate. Could it be any better than that? I don't believe so. Amen.
