If you have never walked up to someone and thought they were someone else, you haven’t experienced true humiliation. Partially because there are people we walk up to with total confidence and act perhaps a bit foolish. Friends, people who walk with us everyday and love us can handle the goofy moments. However it’s the awkward silence when someone we thought was a friend, and when we approached them in our ridiculous moment of tomfollery, they simple turn to us and say, “Clearly you have me mistaken”.
What’s it like to be mistaken? What’s it like to think you are someone and then you aren’t? What happens when the assumption is one thing and reality is another?
Jesus had a lot of that. Mistaken identity wasn’t assuming he was someone of which he wasn’t, it was the realization that they didn’t give him credit for who he was.

So true! I’ve often wondered if I was alive back when Jesus walked the earth would I be different. Would I have been less caught up in worldly things , being more ego centric or would I have followed him closer and loved him more.
