My wife often shows me how I can be thrown off course by following rabbit trails.  Indeed, the older I get, the more often I start a story and forget what the point was about what I wanted  to say! Quite a problem for a preacher! Then there is the problem about the folks listening: they are more concerned about their own thoughts, that they miss the key issue of what is being said and misconstrue the point of the conversation! In our text this morning, the conclusion is: “The disciples understood none of these things, and the meaning of this statement was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend the things that were said.” This could be true about others who read this text as well."}
