Steadfast
Now it came to pass, when the time had come for Him to be received up, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem. Luke 9:51
Jesus knew what was ahead of Him in Jerusalem.
He knew He would be handed over to be crucified and yet we are told that “He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem.”
There are times in our lives when we face difficult things.
It is the nature of the life we live while here on the earth.
The question is not whether we will face difficult things, but rather, how we will face difficult things. In difficult situations we need to “steadfastly set our face to go.”
Going in the other direction or sticking our heads in the sand won’t help the situation to be any less difficult and will actually complicate matters.
We are called to face situations head on and in the strength of Jesus.
We can take those situations to Jesus;
He has been there and knows what we are dealing with and what we need!
Question for Discussion
Are you facing any difficult situations right now that you need to be steadfast in, in the strength of Jesus?
