to try to see the change
when Jesus became Christ
the Bible silent about many
years of His life
there were other moments
at the Jordan, on the
mountaintop
when His eyes would have
been opened
more aware, truly, of who He
was really;
but this was a moment
of real epiphany, a moment.
the epiphany of Jesus
alone in the Temple
reading the ancient scrolls
asking the priests probing
questions.
alone with the scribes,
the scholars, the Pharisees
away from his family, his
parents,
studying the ancient words;
His own fulfillment of
prophecy
