“Who is this Jesus?” - Salvation of God, Son of God for His people.
Sometimes 30 years can make a huge difference in circumstances and people.
With the passing of time, issues become clearer.
Some things we once thought to be crucial are now rather insignificant in the grand scheme of things.
The converse is also true.
That seemingly insignificant decision to affirm that we cared for someone was reciprocated many times.
We did not do it for the thanks.
We did it for the Lord.
With no ulterior motives we paid it forward.
Time as a wonderful of leveling things out and affirming what is really important.
Although some memories have been fragmented, careful guided reflection can re-calibrate what is true and important.
Sometimes, by God’s grace, not is truth reaffirmed, but what had been promised and delivered is now all the more sure.
About 30 years had elapsed between the events of Jesus’ birth ( and its parallel ) and the events surrounding the beginning of Jesus’ ministry ().
In the same way that Matthew - - answered “Who is this Jesus?”,
Luke answered the question the same, this time in the context of the beginning of His public ministry.
This time, the answer was affirmed by God the Father.
“Who is this Jesus?”
