Today’s Gospel is the text focused on Jesus’ identity and what that means for what is to become of him, his mission and to his followers. Jesus faces the full prospect of failure and defeat and warns his followers that their destiny won’t much different. So he invites them to face this prospect with courage and confidence based on their union with him.
