Jesus taught his disciples that he would not be the Messiah they were hoping for, but rather he would be the Suffering Servant who sacrificed himself for the sake of all. Now we have to ask ourselves, is he the Messiah we want? When people put us on the spot, who do WE say that Jesus is? And do our actions exemplify that belief? Is the faith we show to the world, in everything we say and do, vibrant, alive, and active?
