Jesus’ walk to the cross was not a journey he made alone. He chose 12 disciples to make the journey with him. This growing band of followers was not primarily about providing support for Jesus. He was preparing them. He was giving them authority. His mission would become their mission. The message he preached would become the message they preached. His deeds would be multiplied in them. But there would be a cost. And so Jesus reminded his disciples that the painful rejection he faced, they would face as well.
