Remember What He Says

Luke 9

43b While everyone was marveling at everything he was doing, Jesus said to his disciples, 44 “Listen to me and remember what I say. The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of his enemies.” 45 But they didn’t know what he meant. Its significance was hidden from them, so they couldn’t understand it, and they were afraid to ask him about it.

Jesus always made His intentions and His purpose clear, but even His closest followers didn’t “get it.” Not only was this purpose “hidden from them,” but “they were afraid to ask.” Don’t let fear keep you from seeking the will of God the Father through Jesus the Son! Don’t let your slowness to comprehend deter you from following the Christ. I say these things to Scott Blount, and if they help anyone else, so be it! Scott, today, you need to listen to Jesus and remember what He has said! Only a few more days until we celebrate Resurrection Sunday. Jesus has risen! Nothing else matters!
