Set Like Flint
“When the days drew near for him to be taken up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem.”
THE HOUR HAD COME
Heaven's calendar came due, and Jesus was not dragged to the cross — He walked toward it. His love is purposeful, never accidental.
A RESOLUTE FACE
He knew what Jerusalem would cost and set His face anyway. Courage is not the absence of feeling; it is continuing to walk.
LOVE WITH A DIRECTION
Jerusalem meant rejection, betrayal, and a cross — and you were the reason for every step. He chose the road with you in mind.
DECIDE BEFOREHAND
Obedience grows lighter when it is settled before temptation gets a vote. Fix the direction of your heart today.
NO ALTERNATE ROUTES
Shortcuts were offered along the way, but Jesus never negotiated the route. Some callings in your life allow no detours either.
TAKE THE FIRST STEP
Act: before breakfast, name one obedience you have been postponing and take the first step — a message, an apology, a yes.
