The Compelling Purpose of God

“He … said to them, ‘Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem …’ ” (Luke 18:31).

Jerusalem, in the life of our Lord, represents the place where He reached the culmination of His Father’s will. Jesus said, “I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me” (John 5:30). Seeking to do “the will of the Father” was the one dominating concern throughout our Lord’s life. And whatever He encountered along the way, whether joy or sorrow, success or failure, He was never deterred from that purpose. “… He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem …” (Luke 9:51).
