Premature announcement of anything will sabotage the original plan. Proclaiming Jesus as Christ prematurely will cause disruption to Jesus' plan. On the other hand, Jesus foretold His death, as a warning not to make a premature announcement, and also as a preparation for His disciples.
Lesson:
There is a right time for the right thing. A good thing at the wrong time will be a bad thing.
Suffering may not be a bad thing. It is a path through which good things can happen.
For the salvation of mankind, Jesus must go through the cross of suffering and death, and resurrected to give eternal to men. Death is the path to Resurrection.
See the higher purpose and opportunities in any crisis and suffering.
It is not easy. May the grace and peace of Christ be with us all to walk through the valley of the shadow of death.
Read Rom 8:28 And we know that for those who love God, all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose
1 Thessalonians 5:18 In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
