17 Now Jesus was going up to Jerusalem. On the way, he took the Twelve aside and said to them, 18 “We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death 19 and will hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. On the third day he will be raised to life!”
This time the disciples don’t respond. They get it…after the third time. Only now will they be able to adequately contemplate and plan for their future.
One of the principles Jesus employs is repetition. He will repeat it until we get it. If we’re tired of hearing it, perhaps we should listen a bit more carefully when he speaks the first time.
Live boldly out there today…
