“And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,”
Luke 9:51 KJV
Jesus let nothing distract Him from departing for Jerusalem because the time for Him to be lifted up drew near, and He was full of passion to complete His mission there. This refers to the Cross, where Jesus was lifted up on a tree to bear the sins of all humankind. His exaltation into glory was through the sacrifice of His life on Calvary’s Cross. Nothing would turn Him aside from being our Sin-Bearer and Redeemer. For the mystery of righteousness is beyond all question! He was revealed as a human being, and as our great High Priest in the Spirit! Angels gazed upon Him as a Man and the glorious message of His Kingly rulership is being preached to the nations! Many have believed in Him and He has been taken back to heaven, and has ascended into the place of exalted glory in the heavenly realm. Yes, great is this mystery of righteousness! Amen!
