The Character of Jesus - PATIENT

Read Mark 10:32-34.

"And again He took the twelve aside and began to tell them what was going to happen to Him." (v. 32b)

Jesus "again" told His disciples about the hard things that were to happen to Him. Jesus patiently repeated the "hard" things to His disciples--and He did it privately.

I need to patiently repeat the "hard" things to my children. I assume/expect them to "get it" on the first hearing--but that's not necessarily the case. I need to do this privately too--for the sake of clarity and not embarrassing them.
