Jesus pulled aside his primary followers to give them special insight. It didn't work.
Somehow we think if Jesus were to come down here and talk straight with me, everything would be easier and clearer. I've heard that said many times. Yet it obviously is not true. He spent years with his apostles and even had moments like these when he pulled them aside for special instructions. Yet, they remained clueless in many ways. The meaning behind Jesus' words was still hidden from them.
So where do I get the right to think I have all the answers? Why do I think my perspective is so accurate? If a group of men who ate, drank and slept with Jesus for three years still misunderstood him, I have cause for being much more humble.
