CHAPTER 13

A Scandalous Claim

Jesus has been careful to keep His true identity secret. He has muzzled demons, the only ones who know that He is literally the Son of God, refusing to let them make it public. Statements and actions have indirectly pointed to the truth, but He has not yet made a definitive statement. He wants to avoid precipitating an untimely confrontation with those wanting to murder Him.

This is about to change.

The time has come to step out into the light. Jesus is carefully laying the foundation for His unambiguous public proclamation. He will use language hinting at His deity, which will incite suspicion that He is blaspheming. But at this point His words will only infuriate His enemies; they will not yet justify taking up stones to kill Him. Jesus is managing the schedule and knows this cannot occur until most of the crowd begins siding with the religious leaders.

While some are about to turn away, the tipping point is still about six months away.
