The Scandal of Gentleness: Who Was Jesus?

Kayumba David, 2024

Who was this man born in such mysterious circumstances that even the stars announced his arrival? Jesus of Nazareth, a figure so simple in appearance yet profound in essence, is the most celebrated and debated individual in human history. His story begins with mysteries that have baffled scholars, stirred the hearts of the faithful, and perplexed the skeptical for centuries. This is the child whose birth shook the heavens and the earth. A star appeared—no ordinary star but a celestial beacon so significant that it drew wise men, kings from the East, to journey across deserts and mountains with kingly gifts: gold for royalty, frankincense for divinity, and myrrh, a symbol of sacrifice. They came not merely to see this child but to bow before him, acknowledging a power and majesty far beyond the comprehension of their time. And yet, in his own homeland, he was unknown, overlooked by the very people who had awaited a Messiah for centuries. The religious leaders, immersed in their rituals and laws, failed to recognize the fulfillment of their prophecies. They studied the Scriptures yet could not see the Word made flesh among them. Even Herod the Great, a king known for his cunning and paranoia, was caught off guard. When his intelligence network—so adept at sniffing out threats—failed to anticipate the arrival of this infant king, he panicked. News of Jesus' birth ignited fear in Herod's heart, compelling him to commit the unthinkable: the massacre of innocent children in Bethlehem. This helpless baby, born in obscurity, was already shaking thrones and threatening empires.
