If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.”
Jesus answered them, “I told you and you do not believe.
Jesus then adds the works (signs) as additional witness to his being the Christ.
Works speak for themselves.
Testifying to self is an expression of self-awareness and identity. It should be enough. But works leave no room for doubt, at least not reasonable doubt.
Today’s workout was along the riverbed, then do drills up and down the roadside embankment. Work matters.
My favorite saying (original) The Mountain Doesn’t Care.
You prepared well or not. Worked or not. Tested equipment or not. Tested yourself by different metrics or not.
When you encounter the mountain, it doesn’t care. The work tells the story.
Those who deliberately doubted Jesus never met the test of the mountain. And work.
Peace be with you,
Deacon Gerry
