The first challenge, of course, would be figuring out which one was Jesus. He wouldn\u2019t be wearing the bright white, red and blue robes portrayed on holy cards. He would be wearing the same faded cotton or linen robes as everyone else. Without a halo, he\u2019d look like so many other itinerant preachers, teachers and healers who perambulated the countrysides of Judea and Galilee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And his name wouldn\u2019t be Jesus! That\u2019s the English translation of the Latin (by way of Greek) from the Hebrew <em>Joshua<\/em>, which in his native Aramaic was rendered <em>Yahoshua<\/em>, meaning \u201cYahweh saves.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contrary to what some believe, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/reflections\/886-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Christ<\/a> is not Jesus\u2019 last name. It means \u201cthe anointed,\u201d that is, \u201cthe Messiah\u201d or \u201cking\u201d and is the title for which he was crucified. But even a perfunctory reading of the Gospels shows that for those who encountered him, recognizing Jesus as the Messiah is a gradual, step-by-step process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lepers encountered Jesus as a healer, who delivered them from disease \u2014 and social isolation. Demoniacs experienced him as an exorcist who freed them from the power of evil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the synagogue on the Sabbath or listening to his Sermon on the Mount, people recognized him as a great preacher and teacher, Rabbi Jesus of Nazareth. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2022\/06\/spirit-of-mission-mary-magdalene-a-saint-for-synodality\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">At the Resurrection<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/reflections\/the-mission-of-the-magdalene\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mary Magdalene<\/a> calls him <em>\u201cRabboni\u201d<\/em> (my teacher and master).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the title Jesus used most often for himself was \u201cSon of Man.\u201d The Gospels record Jesus using this reference no fewer than 80 times. That\u2019s <em>Bar Nasha<\/em> in Aramaic or <em>Ben Adam<\/em> in Hebrew, both titles rich in meaning. At its basic level it means simply a human being, or a son of the human race. In the <a href=\"https:\/\/bible.usccb.org\/bible\/daniel\/0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Book of Daniel<\/a>, it refers to the one who comes to judge the human race at the end of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well in <a href=\"https:\/\/bible.usccb.org\/bible\/john\/4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">John 4:4-30<\/a> shows a step-by-step recognition of who Jesus is. The woman sees him first as a man and a suspicious adversary. She thinks, \u201cWhy would a Jewish man talk to an unaccompanied Samaritan woman?\u201d When Jesus tells her to go call her husband, she dissimulates, \u201cI don\u2019t have one.\u201d Instead of chastising her for duplicity, Jesus praises her honesty. \u201cYou don\u2019t have one. You\u2019ve had five and the one you have now is not your husband,\u201d he retorts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short order the Samaritan woman goes from calling Jesus a Jew to \u201csir,\u201d \u201crabbi,\u201d and finally, \u201cMessiah.\u201d This is one of only a few places in the Gospels where Jesus clearly admits he is the Messiah. And to a Samaritan woman, no less!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each of the four Gospels lead us through different processes of discovery. Matthew reveals Jesus as the Messiah of the Jewish people. Luke proclaims him Savior of the whole world. For Mark, Jesus is the Son of God and for John, Jesus is present as the Word who was with God from the beginning. John\u2019s Gospel makes clear that Jesus isn\u2019t just the Son of God but God the Son (<a href=\"https:\/\/bible.usccb.org\/bible\/john\/20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">John 20:28<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even non-Christians wrestle with the challenge of understanding who Jesus is. Hindus regard him a guru, but many consider him also an <em>acharya<\/em>, a spiritually advanced teacher whose life and teachings are one. Some even venerate him among their gods and mystics. Buddhists say Jesus is a <em>bodhisattva<\/em>, who postponed entering Nirvana so he could show others the way to Enlightenment. Islam numbers Jesus among the greatest of prophets, born of the Virgin Mary \u2014 to whom an entire chapter of the Quran is dedicated. They consider both Jesus and Mary as embodying characteristics of what it means to be Muslim, that is, one who surrenders to the will of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And you? Who do <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/reflections\/wake-up-jesus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">you say Jesus is<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More importantly, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2023\/06\/recalling-jesus-in-the-eucharist-spirit-of-mission\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">does your life reflect your answer?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><em>Featured Image: An image of Christ is pictured at the entrance of New Mexico\u2019s historic <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chimayo,_New_Mexico\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">El Santuario de Chimayo shrine<\/a>, renowned for its soil\u2019s legendary healing properties.
