Commentary

Jesus came to earth with a mission. One of the ways this is stated by theologians is that Jesus was "self aware" - meaning that He was not on a path of discovery of His identity, but had full clarity of who He was. The accounts of Jesus reveal a being so magnificent that His power was fully engaging the creation around Him in a way that even His followers didn't comprehend; they could only respond in amazement. Do we see Jesus in this light? As someone so powerful that He is engaging our circumstances in such a way that we can't see. Whether we realize it or not, Jesus has been given all power, and He is guiding us in our purpose on this earth.
