When they came together in Galilee, he said to them, The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men. They will kill him, and on the third day he will be raised to life . And the disciples were filled with grief. Mathew (17:22,23) The disciples didnt fully comprehend the purpose of Jesus death and resurrection until Pentecost. They didnt know that Jesus death and resurrection would make his kingdom possible. We shouldnt get upset at ourselves for being slow to understand everything about Jesus, after all, the disciples were with him, saw his miracles, heard his words, and still had difficulty understanding. Despite their questions and doubts, however, they believed. We should do no less.
