Matthew 20:17-19 Bible Study - The Fog of the Followers. Guest Teaching

In this teaching, titled "The Fog of the Followers," we dive into Matthew 20:17–19 to explore the striking contrast between the clarity of Jesus and the confusion of His disciples. As Jesus set His face toward Jerusalem, He provided an explicit, detailed roadmap of His impending betrayal, crucifixion, and resurrection. Yet, despite His directness, the disciples remained "in a fog"—blinded by their own expectations, distracted by internal status disputes, and emotionally overwhelmed. By examining these "Passion Predictions" across the Gospels, we learn that the disciples weren’t just slow to understand; their spiritual eyes were veiled until the Lord personally opened their minds.This message challenges us to identify the "fog" in our own lives that prevents us from truly hearing God's voice today. Through a three-part call to action, we discuss how to shift our focus from our own "crowns" back to Christ’s cross, how to silence the daily static through the intentional practice of Sabbath, and how to become truly dependent on the Divine for spiritual wisdom. Whether you are struggling with daily stress or feeling stuck in your faith, this teaching provides a roadmap for moving out of the fog and into the life-changing clarity of the Gospel.Teaching notes:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SWgB4CSRqRaQ-yZBL0cAaLS6cAeMw4G1-tX3KkWekWk/edit?usp=sharing
