Matthew 20:17-19 - The Road To The Cross: Preparing The Unready

Matthew - The King has Come

"The Road To The Cross: Preparing The Unready"
(Matthew 20:17-19)

Jesus knew exactly what waited for Him in Jerusalem, and His disciples did not. On the road toward the cross, Jesus takes the twelve aside and tells them, for the third time and in the most detail yet, that He will be delivered over, condemned, mocked, flogged, crucified, and raised on the third day. Omar Edwards, one of McGregor's elders, walks through the who, what, where, when, and why of this moment, showing a Savior who set His face toward Jerusalem on purpose and shepherded His followers personally along the way. The disciples missed it because they were looking for a conquering king, not a suffering servant. You will walk away seeing God's sovereignty on display, the redemptive work of Jesus finished, and the call to set aside whatever distracts us so we are ready for what He has prepared.
