Began a new phase in the life of Jesus Christ – could be the beginning of a new concept for you?
Many of us recoil of new things – new experiences – from new challenges – from new challenges. We can see something of this attitude, like Jesus Christ, beginning a new phase of his face when he goes to Jerusalem to them.
We read the details of this Luke Chapter 9, verses 51-62, where Jesus Christ is ready to go to Jerusalem. Jesus Christ is preparing to return home – through the cross and the tomb. This is nothing new. We've never been here before.
It 'time for a change inThe Ministry of Jesus Jesus was preaching and teaching – to heal the sick – casting evil spirits of people – and preach to the different needs of men and women who came to him.
Now Jesus, his face to go to Jerusalem. Jesus is determined to face what is before him. Jesus makes that decision for the suffering that he knows awaits him. Jesus is determined to take the cross. Knows that he must suffer. He read from Isaiah and Jesus knowsIsaiah prophesied about themselves. He knows that he must suffer the pain – torture of the cross. Jesus realized that he had experienced rejection – humiliation – sorry – and Jesus is so positive in its determination.
Jesus makes his way to Jerusalem – and, finally, to Calvary – to be crucified – to shed his blood to wash away our sins – death as a sacrificial lamb of God – our paschal lamb. It all started with a very practical decision. There are times when everyone mustface and create a very specific decision, and this time is rarely easy.
There is no other way that a man can be saved – saved – carving – redeemed – sorry – Plants – born again – and anointed with the Holy Spirit.
There is no other way. This is an issue more crucial in the coming months and years in our respective nations. Become increasingly difficult to declare that Jesus Christ is the only way to God in this multi-religious andmulticultural day Jesus Christ is the Son of God, is unique. There's nobody like him, and there never will be.
For all this to happen – a man to forgive and be reborn – only Jesus would die. Jesus had to die temporarily – that we can have eternal life.
Jesus resolutely decided to go to Jerusalem. Puts his face. Jesus makes this decision, and when this decision is followed, and everything else flows. There are times when we must make a decision andso everything else can follow and flow. May not be easy for the decision. It was not easy for Jesus can not be painless. E 'was certainly not without pain but this decision for Jesus God's will is done.
This is what Jesus is not here. We also have some decisions to return. This is all so simple, but it is not always so easy. The only person who could do everything for humanity – is Jesus This is why GodFather sent Jesus to the world, and Jesus is determined not to his father. When God calls us to do something – we have such a positive assessment.
This new challenge was to discern the heart of God. In such a situation can mean pain and suffering, but it is the best place to be is.
