Jesus willingly continues toward Jerusalem to complete the work the Father has given him.

Lucas 9:51-62 · HTB
De tijd van zijn terugkeer naar God kwam steeds dichterbij. Jezus was vastbesloten naar Jeruzalem te gaan. Op een dag stuurde Hij enkele mannen vooruit naar een Samaritaans dorp om onderdak voor Hem te zoeken. Maar de mensen daar wilden niets te maken hebben met iemand die naar Jeruzalem ging. Toen Jakobus en Johannes dit hoorden, vroegen zij Jezus: ‘Meester, vindt U het goed dat wij vuur van de hemel laten komen om die mensen te verbranden?’ Jezus keerde Zich om en zei dat zij zich moesten schamen. Daarna ging Hij verder naar een ander dorp. Onderweg kwam iemand naar Jezus toe. ‘Ik wil U volgen,’ zei hij. ‘Het doet er niet toe waarheen.’ ‘De vossen hebben een hol om in te wonen en vogels een nest, maar Ik, de Mensenzoon, heb geen plaats om mijn hoofd neer te leggen,’ antwoordde Jezus. Jezus nodigde iemand anders uit met Hem mee te gaan. De man wilde wel, maar vroeg of hij eerst zijn vader mocht begraven. Jezus zei: ‘Laat het begraven van de doden maar over aan hen die geestelijk dood zijn. Wat u moet doen, is met Mij meegaan en de mensen vertellen dat God van hen houdt.’ Weer iemand anders zei: ‘Here, ik zal U volgen. Maar mag ik eerst naar huis gaan om afscheid te nemen van mijn familie?’ Jezus antwoordde: ‘Wie gaat ploegen en steeds achterom kijkt, is niet geschikt voor het Koninkrijk van God.’

HTB · API.Bible

Luke shows Jesus as resolute. He knows the direction of His mission and deliberately turns toward Jerusalem as the decisive stage approaches.

Watch: Why Did Jesus Set His Face Toward Jerusalem with Such Resolve?

Watch the companion video, then continue reading to examine the biblical testimony in its full context.

Watch on YouTube

Resolve Without Retaliation.

When the Samaritan village rejects Him, Jesus does not authorize the destructive zeal of James and John. His determination is not vindictiveness.

Authority to Call.

Along the journey, Jesus speaks with extraordinary authority about following Him. He does not present Himself as one optional teacher among many competing priorities.

A Mission Larger Than Comfort.

Jesus has nowhere to lay His head, yet He continues. The path before Him is not organized around personal ease, popularity, or avoiding rejection.

The Savior Who Keeps Going.

This passage reveals both direction and purpose. Jesus moves toward the place where His suffering and saving work will reach their climax, and He calls followers to take that mission seriously rather than admire it from a safe distance.

Consider this.

Behandel anderen zoals u wilt dat zij u behandelen. Dat is in het kort wat Mozes en de profeten hebben gezegd.

HTB · API.Bible

Zelfingenomenheid verblindt ons; eerlijkheid geneest ons. Jezus ontmaskert onze hypocrisie niet om ons te beschamen, maar om ons heldere ogen te geven.
