He took the Twelve aside and said to them, “Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written through the prophets about the Son of Man will be accomplished. Indeed, he will be handed over to the Gentiles. They will mock him, mistreat him, spit on him, flog him, and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again.”
Luke 18:31–33, EHV
We may not understand everything we read within Scripture, which is OK. Following this discourse by Jesus, it is revealed that the disciples did not understand, and the meaning was hidden from them. Not all things are meant for us to fully understand at this time, but we do know that one day it will all be revealed, and we will have clarity. Whenever you read or hear about a Top-Secret mission in movies or books, some things are on a “need-to-know” basis. We do not need to know or fully understand when or how the end will look and come, that is why whenever it is spoken of there is imagery utilized, and anyone who tries to say they understand fully is deceiving not only others but themselves. The only thing we need to know is that Christ will return and restore all things to as they were meant to be and all who belong to our Lord will live eternally in the new heavens and the new earth. At the time Jesus revealed what would happen in Jerusalem, they only needed to know that the suffering of Jesus would not result in the permanent death of Him. They needed to know He would rise again. When it happened, they didn’t understand until He opened their eyes. We, too, will understand when He opens our eyes, and all the things that will pass have passed. Our Lord desires first our devotion to Him and our faith and in this, we will know peace.
Let us pray. I thank you, my heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, your dear Son, that you have kept me this night from all harm and danger, and I ask you to protect me this day also from sin and every evil, that in all I do today, I may please you. For into your hands, I commend myself, my body and soul, and all that is mine. Let your holy angel watch over me, that the wicked foe have no power over me. Amen.
