Working on my sermon this Sunday:
So, while Jesus is already sensing the stress, the anxiety, that he would express in the garden of Gethsemane, the disciples were completely out of touch. The clash is dramatic! The clash itself is scary: Lord, is there any way I’m as out of touch with you as that? How can I walk with you, if I can be so out of touch?
Yet he deigned to walk with them. He is so longsuffering. To take the position of willingness to recognize that I can be so out of touch is key; it’s the place of humility. He’s willing to walk with us, even if we don’t know what we should know, as long as we are humble - like he is.
