He Steadfastly Set His Face To Go To Jerusalem

Jesus Christ never lost sight of the final goal in His mind. He was steadfast and determined, He chose to continue doing what God had commanded Him to do. He did not let any things of this world come before His Father. Christians must practice faithful obedience and walk every moment conscious of God. Christians are to possess their souls by overcoming thoughts, moods, and feelings that will lead them away from God. Christians are to die to the sin of possessiveness. Jesus used a child to show one who is humble, teachable, and without personal ambition. Christ taught that we are to be converted through repentance and bring ourselves to the lowest place. This begins when one is born again and continues throughout life. Our goals and ideas are to become worthless compared to God. Those who have the Holy Spirit love God more than all other things. The believer must continually surrender over their right to self and become like Christ in His character. So many live their lives going after possessions and miss going to Heaven. The Christian must live in obedience to God, commit everything to Him and keep Him first. They set their face to do God’s will, even if others did not go with Him or even if the whole world is opposed to them. We must not postpone our call to follow Christ. Jesus lived like a homeless pilgrim, He consecrated Himself to God entirely. Attachments and possession keep people from following after Christ. We must count the cost! We must not look at the praises of men as more important, nor our home responsibilities. We must not be inconsistent, never look with regret on following after Christ. Do not look back, we must be obedient to the call of the Gospel.
