Mark 14:61-62 But He kept silent and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked Him, saying to Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?” Jesus said, "I am. And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power and coming with the clouds of heaven.”
In this short, to-the-point conversation, Mark revealed unto us three things in Jesus' answer that testify to all that the Law, the Prophets, and the Psalms said about who Jesus is. Now before you may think I'm reading something into the text that it doesn't say, let me just make it clear: "I'm reading exactly WHAT IS WRITTEN, AND THE TEXT SAID IT!"
Firstly, Jesus could have answered the High Priest with a simple "Yes," but He didn't; He said, "I am." Those words would have immediately had the High Priest think of Exodus 3:14, where God introduced Himself to Moses from the burning bush as "I am." You see, these words of Jesus made known: He is God!
Secondly, the High Priest would have noticed that Jesus confessed to be the very One whom David wrote of in Psalm 110:1, which says, "The Lord said to my Lord, 'Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.'" This means Jesus is the Christ and the One who reigns from the right hand of God!
Still, that was not all, because thirdly, Jesus quoted words in the Prophets of the Son of Man who would come on the clouds, as is written in Daniel 7:13. This meant that Jesus said He is the Son who will come on the clouds to judge and reign! So Jesus brought the Law into remembrance, the Psalms into remembrance, and the Prophets into remembrance to show from Scripture exactly who He is!
Now if we look at the specific Greek word Mark used to explain exactly what Jesus said in these few words, we too will be amazed at Jesus' answer, because the Greek word ὄψεσθε (opsesthe) means "you will see, you will behold, and you will experience." Do you see who He is, that Jesus is "I am"? Do you behold that the Law and the Psalms and Prophets say so?
We often read Scripture and fail to see, fail to behold, and fail to experience that it points to Christ, and that everything about Him points to how He came to renew and transform our lives when we behold who He is and thus believe in who He is. After Christ's resurrection, He reminded the disciples, "These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me" (Luke 24:44).
You see, Christ wants us to see, to behold, and to experience who He is so that we will come to Him and believe in Him, for those who believe in Him, everything changes, and our lives never remain the same, but we worship Him.
Amen.
