Mark 9:31
For he was teaching his disciples, saying to them, “The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him. And when he is killed, after three days he will rise.”
Sometimes God makes His will so clear, but we still choose to ignore it. Jesus foretold His death and resurrection to His disciples several times throughout the gospels, and yet they were still shocked when He was delivered over to be crucified. They never dreamed it would end this way, and in their hopelessness, they assumed death was the end for Jesus. And yet, three days later, an empty tomb proved them wrong. The Lord’s plan for salvation, and for establishing a new kingdom, was far better and far beyond what anyone could have guessed.
