I remember a friend, who was a CEO in a multi-national company, once telling me that his greatest fear was that someday he would be found out. “What do you mean?” I asked. “That they will know I’m not who I say I am; that I’m not who I want them to think I am; that I’m not who I want to be,” he answered. He was barely holding it together, professionally and in his personal life, because the pressure of being ‘in charge’ and ‘holding it all together’ was just getting a bit too much for him.
This battle and interior conflict have been present since Adam and Eve separated themselves from God and hid among the trees of the garden. It is seen in Israel’s desire for a king to be like other nations, forgetting its unique calling - to be different, to act as God’s chosen people for the benefit of all.
It seems we are forever trying to put the pieces of our lives together. That’s why the crowd gathered around Jesus. That’s why the religious authorities opposed Him. That’s why His family tried to restrain Him. Even when it is for our own good, with the offer of new life and intended for wholeness, it’s a hard place to be. It means that one way or another, change is coming. Most of us don’t like that. It can be frightening.
