Turn the page in your Bible, and you’ll see that the 17th chapter begins with four important lessons that form sort of a portrait of the ideal Christian. Jesus is saying to his disciples, “Want to follow me? You must embrace these four things. And none is easy.” Oddly, however, our Gospel reading allows us to hear only lessons #3 and #4. It’s like we tuned in to the latest episode of our favorite podcast half-way through.
