The Cost

Notes from Luke 9:31...

What does the "Cost" mean to us?

Jesus took comfort from the two witnesses he encountered before his death before they disappeared into the clouds:
"A great source of comfort to Jesus in the experience on the mount, was the assurance that the mystery of the cross was understood and appreciated by saints in heaven, if not by the darkened minds of sinful me on earth." (Training of the Twelve, A. B. Bruce, pg. 193)
"There was not one to whom He could speak on that theme with any hope of eliciting an intelligent and sympathetic response." (193)
"He had to be content to finish His great work without the comfort of being understood until it we finished." (193)
Now the disciples were left after Jesus ascension. What would they do? Would they understand all He shared with them to do and say? This question is as much alive today in the hearts of believers as it was some 2000 years ago for the disciples. What will you do with this man called Jesus? How will you respond to the call He has placed upon your lives today? Will we be people of an "intelligent and sympathetic response?"
