Mark 10:32 And they were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them. And they were amazed, and those who followed
were afraid.
Once again in the
life of the disciples Jesus led the way.
Even type-A personality Peter followed Jesus wherever Jesus wanted to
go. And in this scenario once again
Jesus was “walking ahead of them."
It is a good reminder to me of my own personal spiritual walk. Jesus walks ahead and I follow. It would have been interesting to have been
there to get a better sense of what amazed the disciples, but I know that for myself
I have often been amazed at how God has led my steps through the years. This verse reminds me that I can follow His
steps with amazement because I am walking close behind Him, but if I fall back
and follow from afar, I could be following afraid rather than amazed. That
appears to have been the case for those who were not so dedicated to following
except out of curiosity. I would rather
let Jesus walk ahead of me and follow as an amazed but close disciple.
