The VOCATION of Jesus of Nazareth.

At Christmas we admire the little Jesus and we are glad, the simple farmworkers get the message. But we, we have still the question (so I hope): "Who is Jesus?" and "For what did he came into this world?" The wise men from the East (guided by a star / not by the Holy Scripture) have in their own way discovered Jesus as - we don't know - a political or a messianic King ? We only know: Until today the jewisch people and the Islam-people have an other vision of Jesus then we. The question remains high: "Who is Jesus v N ? "
And - a very interesting important question - Jesus - how he has discovered himself and his own vocation ?
By the age of 30 he became a disciple of John in the Desert. A well-known decision.
And before ? He was unsure ? looking after ? Searching ? I have a story: As he was
26 of age - a grown-up! - He ask for an interview with God, the Father in Heaven and he got it - asking HIM: What do you think about people ? God answered slowly:
I think first) I have created them as to be good. 2.) I see them as a blessing for each other. 3.) I called them to be free people. 4.) I have decided every one is a beloved one (in his singularity).  After the Interview Jesus was in big trouble. If people are good, a blessing, free, beloved - what is then my vocation, my work in this world ? God answered: Yes, they are basically so - but they do not know how to make it in their real world.
Therefore Jesus has decided to become a teacher of, or more, a trainer of Christian-Life-Style. It means: first he has gone to John in the desert, then he has elaborated his own way... and we know how his life has ended.

Today we are invited to think about our own vocation: we are baptised: declard as good, as a blessing, as free, as beloved - but how to make it in our real world ?
Did we choose JvN as our own Life-Style-Tainer ?

Today we got a story written by Markus 50 years after Jesus Christ. He, Markus helps us to know JvN as baptised, beloved by God and filled by the Holy Spirit.
Latter, Matthew and Lukas will bring more and different views about Jesus. And the Ev John is ready for a real suprise. But we Christian of 2015 - what do we know
about JvN ? More or less than the 4 Gospels ? Do we have a new view of Jesus - a view for our future ? or we only have an old view of yestrday ?
