Jesus took the Twelve aside and said, “Look, we’re going up to Jerusalem, and everything written about the Human One by the prophets will be accomplished. He will be handed over to the Gentiles. He will be ridiculed, mistreated, and spit on. After torturing him, they will kill him. On the third day, he will rise up.” But the Twelve understood none of these words. The meaning of this message was hidden from them and they didn’t grasp what he was saying. (Luke 18:31-34. CEB)
Jesus was plain, but his followers didn’t understand or hear him.
It seems to be a recurring theme in life.
Jesus was killed because the power in place didn’t want to lose their power. He threatened their security and way of life, and rather than hear him out and see if his way might be a better life for all humanity, they chose to eliminate the issue. And followers still do not understand this.
Jesus came to show us how to live and love.
Are you mistreating parts of the body?
Love like Jesus.
Loving People. Loving God.
