Lent: The Road to the Cross- Misunderstood

Let us continue on our journey toward the cross. The moment is getting close, but we have a few more weeks to go. In today’s passage from Luke 18, we find that the disciples, who have now been traveling with Jesus for three years or more, have managed to misunderstand the nature of Jesus’ kingship and kingdom. For one reason or another, they cannot grasp that Jesus must die and be raised from the dead. They misunderstand and yet they still follow. For Jesus, this appears to be enough. Understanding will come. Eventually.
