Chapter 12, of the book of Luke, starts with the phrase, -In the mean time.- It shows us that the Lord had a great deal of stuff going on in His ministry. He had the religious elite trying to catch Him in a lie, and had a gigantic group of people desiring His touch and attention. Yet, with all of that going on, Jesus looks at His disciples and gives them three necessary warnings to help them along the way. We too should heed these same warnings in our own life.
