St. John in his Gospel tells us that not all Jesus said and did is not recorded (anyone who has John’s actual words and the reference, please post it - just at this time I don’t have time to go on a hunt…)…………hence I regard my own concept of Jesus as perhaps limited and certainly relative and conditional to t he Real Human Male Jesus, now in Heaven……….yet with us still………………in fact he lives in every human being in the state of Grace.
I see Jesus as a very intelligent young man. He is sensitive and capable of great gentleness and compassion, nor does he keep this aspect of his person hidden…………. I also see him as a very outspoken young man and more or less following in the footsteps of his cousin John, whom Jesus realizes has been executed (murdered) for his outspokenness………and in fact in The Temple in Jerusalem shortly before his death, he looses the plot completely and his cool and becomes violent. Every human being is capable of violence and usually is ……….on some level or other and to some degree or other and often a side of our humanity, a real and active side, we deny……………and very much a survival necessity and element similar to fear………….
