The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men

Luke 9:18-43
Jesus asked his disciples, "Who do you say I am?" Only Peter answered,"The Christ of God."
The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.
O unbelieving and perverse generation, Jesus replied, "how long shall I stay with you and put up with you?
Listen carefully to what I am about to tell you: The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men. But they did not understand what this meant.
O unbelieving and perverse generation...
It seems, to me at least, that Jesus is blaming the suffering of this child on the perversity of the generation. Jesus is angry because the wickedness of a generation is causing children to suffer--physically, psychologically and spiritually. Children continue to suffer in our world because we are an unbelieving and perverse generation.
Why?
Jesus follows the command of the Lord will be killed and on the third day be raised to life.
We trust our life, we make decision by ourselves.
How you give your life for God's sake?
How?
Jesus walked on the way of God, how about me? what is my way before the Lord?

No matter what our torments or difficulties, it is good to know, and important to feel, that we have a compassionate Savior who does not seek to condemn us, but rather wishes to deliver us. When we feel that in life we are particularly oppressed by the judgments we feel from others, and our own anxieties and insecurities, it is of the utmost importance that we know that the most powerful beings in the universe are looking out for us, and that They have our back.
