ASLC Devotions - Saturday

Mark 10:32 They were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them; they were amazed, and those who followed were afraid.  He took the twelve aside again and began to tell them what was to happen to him.

The one word in this passage that jumps out at me is “again”.  Even though the disciples had been told of what was to happen to Jesus two times before, Jesus still repeated it again.  Being afraid and amazed, I think it was difficult for the disciples to believe what was to take place.  Like the disciples, sometimes we too need to be reminded and to hear things again and again to believe. Each Sunday we are forgiven and blessed.  A constant reminder to us to put our faith in God and believe in his word. 

We don’t always like to be reminded and in fact it gets a bit annoying at times however in our relationship with God it is quite comforting to have those loving words said to us again and again- we are forgiven and we are loved unconditionally always.
