As we continue to look at passages dealing with the cross. We look now to the New Testament. In this passage Jesus foretells of His death and resurrection. He is telling His disciples. I want you to look at verse 34. At first when I read this I was like, “WHAT? They don’t get it, how can that be?” The reality is though that these guys like many unbelievers just don’t get it. This really encouraged me when it comes to witnessing. Think about this here are twelve guys who have spent tons of time with Jesus and they don’t understand what He is talking about, sound familiar. Maybe you have been sharing Christ with a friend or relative and they just don’t get it. Take heart neither did the disciples. It wasn’t till they actually experienced it, that they finally got it. Even Thomas did not get it till He actually saw proof that Jesus was alive. Remember that witnessing is a process that happens over time. Some will get it sooner than others. But in the end its God’s desire that every man gets it. So do not lose heart in sharing Christ. Your friends or family may not get it right away, but neither did those who were closest to Jesus. In the end they got it and did incredible things for God.
Father today help me to rest in you. Help me to not lose sight of the great work you did in my life in drawing me to you. Help my friends and family to understand who you and what you did for me. Help them to except the truth and turn their lives over to you.
