Matthew gives us an invaluable glimpse of Jesus' pregame huddle with His disciples before #GameTime.
He prepares them to face every blindside blitz, to recognize the attacks & the responses, & all the while to trust fully: "He's got us!"
Jesus is clear-this IS going to be hard. On our own, we are NOT ready. #ButGod reminds us this isn't really about us at all-it's about Him going before us, being with us, & living in us. His presence is the power we need to faithfully GO.
