Theme: Jesus calls His disciples to live and minister during hard times, but He always provides for their every need! In v. 35, Jesus recalls His past faithfulness. It is good for us to remember God's past provisions, as we face new challenges. Jesus reminds His disciples of His past faithfulness and then predicts that there will be hard times ahead in vv. 36-37. He is telling His disciples so they will be prepared, and in application, we need to purposely prepare to fulfill the mission of God. We prepare, and yet, ultimately we trust God. In v. 38, we see that the disciples miss the main point. We need to learn from this, and not allow ourselves to get sidetracked from the true mission. In conclusion, we need to know that serving the Lord Jesus is not easy. We are not above our Master. So be prepared to serve Him. Do the hard thing. Do the hard work. We need to do our best and leave the results to God alone. Trust in Him.
