Manage episode 443016501 series 1113854
In Luke 9:51-62, Jesus resolutely sets out for Jerusalem, knowing His mission involves suffering and sacrifice. On the way, a Samaritan village rejects Him, but He rebukes His disciples for wanting to call down judgment on them. As they continue, different people express a desire to follow Jesus, but He warns them that following Him demands radical commitment. He tells one that the Son of Man has no place to rest, indicating the hardship of discipleship. To others, He stresses that nothing, not even family obligations or looking back at past life, should take precedence over following Him.
This passage teaches that Christ’s exodus is laser focus on the heavenly Jerusalem. The values and priorities of this age all submit to the the goal of the heavenly Vision of Peace (Jerusalem).
