Luke-The Investigative Gospel
Jesus Foretells His Death…A Third Time
Luke 18:31-34

While on his final journey to Jerusalem Jesus made yet one more prediction about his upcoming passion.

Understood in this sense, the word passion refers particularly to the suffering of Jesus Christ.

I. The Prediction of Jesus

At that time Jesus was in Galilee and he began his journey to Jerusalem to face his death by crucifixion.

The heart of the Christian faith is the death of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus predicted seven things that would happen to him in due course.

Jesus’ passion was no accident. Jesus knew what lay before him, and he willingly and voluntarily went to the cross.

II. The Perplexity of the Apostles

It was not until after Jesus’ resurrection that they understood fully and clearly what Jesus was telling them in all of his predictions.

The only way to grow in a correct understanding of Jesus and his work is to study the Word of God diligently and carefully, personally and together, and then in humility apply it to our lives daily.

On the cross he offered a king’s ransom: his life for the life of his people.
