161: Jesus Predicts His Death: Preparing His Disciples

Mar 25, 2025 • Rohan Bell, Jeanie Schwarz

In this powerful episode of Talking Bible, Pastor Rohan Bell and Jeannie Schwarz explore the profound moment when Jesus predicts His death to His disciples. Despite having witnessed His glory at the Transfiguration, the disciples are filled with fear, confusion, and denial. Why couldn’t they grasp what Jesus was telling them—and what does this reveal about Jesus’ heart for His followers?

👉 In this episode, we explore:

✨ Why did the disciples struggle to understand Jesus’ prediction of His death?

🤔 Why did Jesus reveal His impending death if the disciples wouldn't understand it?

🌍 How did the disciples’ expectations of a conquering Messiah clash with Jesus’ path of humility and sacrifice?

❤️ What does this moment reveal about Jesus’ love and His purpose?

🛡️ How does Jesus’ example challenge our view of strength, humility, and leadership today?

This episode highlights Jesus’ extraordinary humility and love—not only in willingly walking toward suffering but also in preparing His disciples for the hardest moment of their lives. Could it be that Jesus’ path to glory through suffering reveals the true heart of God's kingdom?

✨ This episode will challenge and encourage you to embrace the upside-down nature of God’s kingdom!
