Mark 10:32-45, March 19
Mark 10:32-45
In Mark 10: 32-34, Jesus tells the disciples again that He will be tortured, mocked and killed in Jerusalem but that on the third day He will rise again. The disciples were both amazed and afraid.
What amazed them? Perhaps they were still in awe of Jesus’ teachings, His miracles and especially His courage as his continued toward Jerusalem, fully aware of what awaited HIm.
What frightened them? I would think they feared for themselves. If this was Jesus’ fate, what would happen to them? The cost of discipleship was becoming very clear.
Yet despite their fear and uncertainty, they kept walking with Him. Can we say that we stand with Jesus—when it is uncomfortable, when it is unpopular, and even when we are afraid?
