Blocked Understanding
Then Jesus and his followers left there and went through
Galilee. Jesus did not want the people to know where they
were. He wanted to teach his followers alone. He said to
them, "The Son of Man* will be handed over to the control of
other men, who will kill him. After three days, he will rise
from death." But the followers did not understand what he
meant, and they were afraid to ask him.
-- Mark 9:30-32 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
Despite some of Jesus' own personal teaching, the disciples are having
a very difficult time understanding that he must die and be raised from
the dead. From their understanding and because of their expectations,
the Messiah should be a conquering redeemer. With all the powerful
displays they had seen from Jesus, we can understand that it must have
been hard for them to even imagine anyone having the power of Jesus.
Sometimes our understanding about Jesus' truth is blocked because of
our expectations of him. Let's ask God to remove the blindness from our
own eyes!
TODAY'S PRAYER:
O Father, I confess that what I want from Jesus sometimes blinds me to
what I need from him and what he longs to teach me. Please remove my
blindness and gently correct me so that I can know and live your truth.
In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
