Day 62 – November 7, 2026 – Luke 18

I want you to be reminded what the Scripture said about the disciples of Jesus, specifically those 12 disciples also called apostles who were with Jesus for three years and learned from him. Jesus tells a parable, or a story, or the facts that he will be going down to Jerusalem and while he is there he will be beaten and then killed. But not one of the disciples, it states, understood what he was talking about. And Scripture states that what the meaning of his statement, that he would go down to Jerusalem, be beaten, killed, and rise from the dead, was hidden from them as well. This is the third time that Jesus tells them that all of this was going to happen, had to happen, but they still didn’t get it. What chance do we have to understand the mysteries of the kingdom if even those who were closest to him did not understand while it was happening in real time?
