(L, P)
Before we are too harsh on the disciples for their lack of underp standing of Christ's impending death and resurrection, listen to this recent attempt to explain the plot of the movie "Deathsport."
This explanation is a direct quote from the TV Guide of a newspaper: "Deathsport, (1978 science fiction) with David Carradine, Claudia Jennings, Richard Lynch, William Smithers. In the future after the Great Neutron Wars reduce the Earth to rubble, cannibal mutants form a motorcycle attack squad to kidnap the leader of a race of supermen who now inhabit the planet."
Something is missing in the explanation. Perhaps a verb or two would help, or even a touch of logic. I decided that cannibal mutants, motorcycle attack squads and supermen had little in common with me, and I avoided the show.
Similarly, when Jesus told the disciples of his coming death, it must have sounded like so much science fiction -- the ramblings of a spirit missing a few verbs or some sane logic. No, things were going great! The disciples were already looking for the best job in the next life. So Jesus had to lift a child into his lap and make it clearer: serve him and you serve both me and my Father.
