Jesus specifically said that what was happening to Him was fulfilling prophecy . . . and how did the disciples respond? By fleeing! How illogical is our fear many times. Just like the disciples, we create erroneous expectations and fly to the mountains when life doesn't match up. Our hopes should be anchored in the pure and simple meaning of the Scriptures, not in what we or anybody else extrapolates from them. (Matt 26:56)
