Luke 12:49-56
After Jesus turns his face to Jerusalem, he begins walking a road he knows will lead to a final confrontation with Roman and Jewish leaders,
He was intent on taking his
message and healing and person straight to the center of power
He knew that God was doing
something new and that this was his road.
It would not be easy. It
would not end well.
But it is what he had to do.
Faith is described in Hebrews
12 as a race that we run following Jesus the pioneer and perfector of our
faith.
Have you ever set out on a
race that you realized half way in, or a quarter way in, or maybe just after
the starting blocks, that you’re not prepared for?
One time during Junior High
track, I decided I would run the 400, I’m not sure if this was before or after
I decided I would eat a peanut butter sandwich.
But following on the peanut butter sandwich, the four hundred was a lot
more difficult. I made it half way and walked off the track.
