As we conclude our series, Walking with Jesus, we consider Jesus’ words to his disciples, “Beware that no one leads you astray.” Jesus understands that following him isn’t always easy. Sometimes it’s confusing, sometimes it’s painful, but always it leads the follower in the paths of life. As he prepares to face his time of trial, Jesus warns his friends to stay alert, to remember his teaching, and to exercise wisdom as they grapple with the signs of the times. Are we prepared to do the same?
