Trying to Make Sense of What Doesn’t Make Sense
For a few weeks we have been teaching from what Jesus taught between the upper room and the Garden of Gethsemane.
But before we get to the prayer of Jesus, I want to look at something that is a part of the teaching of Jesus that the Disciples were still struggling with even up to the point of Jesus’ arrest.
Jesus told his disciples at least three times that he would suffer and die.
And the Apostles just didn’t get it.
Here’s how it plays out: Jesus tells them what he has to face in order to fulfill his mission.
He would suffer and die.
But them he would rise again.
How do you make sense out of something that doesn’t make sense?
In the book of Job, twice it says that when a man dies he goes to the grave and does not rise again.
What do you do with that kind of information?
Here’s A Bucket Full of Information: Soak in This:
Jesus was Clear; The Disciples don’t know
How to Think and What to Do
Jesus Kept Up The Teaching So The Apostles Would Get It
But Then There’s Peter:
Salvation Comes at a High Price
Jesus Knows He Can’t Escape His Role
The Path to Glory Is Through The Pain of Betrayal
And it won’t be petty, it won’t be pretty.
The Mission is Made Clear
And in Matthew:
Luke reads more gently:
The Prophets Have Foretold This
And of course,
The Apostles Didn’t Get It
After the raising of Lazarus, before they all got to the Upper Room for Jesus’ last supper,
Jesus Faced What Would Happen
We all must face death; some sooner and some later.
But we can share this truth because of who Jesus is:
In Jesus We Can Know Life
Now let’s get back to the conversations with the disciple from the upper room to the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus is coming up to the end of his time on earth.
Jesus Faces the Grave with Hope
The Disciples Didn’t Know How to Face Jesus About His Death
Jesus Helps Them Face Their Fears
The unknown brings confusion, and confusion sets us up for fear.
If You Only See the Tomb, You Only Know Sorrow
But look past the tomb; there is a time for sorrow, but Jesus brings us victory over the grave.
Jesus Gives Hope Back: Look Past the Grave
