This week we are back and taking on a doozy.

Taking time to look at the three times Jesus predicts His death to the disciples and how they react each time.

Ice breaker: have you ever put a puzzle together or a Lego set or something like that and have been missing the final or near final pieces? What did you do?

Mark 10:32-34(to 45)

1. First Prediction: Lack of Understanding

(Arrogance)

Matthew 16:21-23 (working text)

Isaiah 53:3-12

Matthew 16:24-27

2. Second Prediction: Lack of Trust

(Distrust)

Luke 9:43-45 (working text)

Luke 9:37-42

The unaccountable stupidity of the disciples, with reference to this prediction of Christ suffering. It was said in Mark, they understood not that same. It was plain enough, but they would not understand it in the literal sense, because it agreed not with their notions; and they could not understand it in any other, and we’re afraid to ask him less they should be undeceived and awakened out of their pleasing dream.

-Matthew Henry

3. Third Prediction: Lack of Humility

(Self-Delusion)

Mark 10:32-34 (working text)

Matthew 20:20

Big Idea: To fill in where we lack, we must serve like Christ

A. Humility

James 4:10

Phil 2:3

B. Understanding

Proverbs 3:5-6

Colossians 6:4

C. Faith

Hebrews 11:7

Hebrews 11:8

Application: look at what die to Self really means, where are you liking in your trust with the Lord, do you miss it on one thing or are there many attributes you have not thought of or misfired on.
