Adult Jesus

 Ever since his experience with the elders in the synagogue, Jesus felt he was a different person. He wasn’t sure how, but he was much more attentive to the world around him and how it worked. The words of the Bible he loved to read acted on him. He took many solitary walks to try to understand what this new life was.

He became so close to God that he sometimes thought he was God’s son. The miracles surprised even him, but he thought that they were not the real message. He felt at home with fishermen, prostitutes, lepers and other marginal folks. It was exhilarating, even with the increasing weight he seemed to be carrying.
And you know the rest.
