Let it sink in
Everyone was amazed at what Jesus was doing. Things were going well, people were flocking to him. Just then he told his disciples that he would be handed over.
Luke writes that they didn't understand. It was hidden from them. And they were afraid to ask him about it. Some things you would rather not hear. Jesus said them anyway.
Question for today
What question do I not dare to ask God?
Prayer
Lord, sometimes I don't want to hear what you say. Give me the courage to listen, and to ask further. Amen.
