Don’t Be Mistaken

Luke 18:31-34

2/12/23

Have you ever made big plans that didn’t pan out? Have you ever lost your dreams because something came along and wiped them out? (Covid, anybody?) Jesus is on the precipice of achieving the single greatest moment in redemptive history, and he is describing it to his disciples. But what Jesus describes looks nothing at all like what the disciples expect. In fact, it looks very much like the loss of every dream they ever had. How did Jesus’ disciples keep going when it looked like all their plans were going up in smoke?

The dissonance between our expectations and our reality can cause us to miss the fact that God is at work.

Action Points:
