Some, especially the liberals and the agnostics, even the Jews, might argue that if Jesus was truly God, he need not behaved as if concealing His divine authority.
As I revisit the book of Esther recently, I believe that Mordecai charged his cousin, Hadassah, that her Jewish identity be a secret, hence the alias name: Esther (Esther 2:10), for the reason that the righteousness of the Jewish people not be defiled by the Persians, for they perceived not the way of God's children. And what more is Christ, if He bears the righteousness of the Almighty? Righteousness of whom who is from above? Yet, Christ did speak and they understood not even of earthly things. Neither would we of today's generation, if it had not been revealed to us.
Many Christians today take it for granted of their faith and presume that they would be more zealous than the people of those days, even the twelve. As if none would place themselves as Judas Iscariot's equal. Loyalty is good. But the question is not loyalty alone, it is loyalty according to the truth, to the word of God, one which entails patience.
Oh Lord, forgive me, for my tardiness has caused me to not able to preach rightly to a Jew.
