The Prophecy

Join us this week as we take a look at the prophecies and teaching Jesus gave either side of the exorcism we saw last week. The main idea that keeps coming up is that Jesus was going to suffer, die and rise again. The disciples didn't understand; they questioned among themselves what Jesus meant and they asked Jesus about Elijah coming first. Jesus showed how the destiny of the Elijah figure (John the Baptist) is much like what would happen to Him (the Son of Man). When Jesus prophesied His death and resurrection again, the disciples still didn't understand and were afraid to ask Him. Why were they scared? Why are these prophecies so significant? Why die and rise? What is the right response?
