The Unconventional Kingdom (Matthew 20:1-16)

Christ is making his way to Jerusalem.  It would seem that as Christ travels to Jerusalem that all is on schedule, the kingdom will be the kingdom of glory where Christ secures his place in history.  Our expectation would be Christ sitting on David’s throne establishing the kingdom that David failed to establish. If this is the case then why does Christ talk about suffering?  What does Christ’s suffering have to do with the kingdom?
