He Set His Face to Go to Jerusalem – John Piper
Luke 9:51 - When the days drew near for Him to be taken up, He set his face to go to Jerusalem.
Luke 19:37-38 - As He was drawing near—already on the way down the Mount of Olives—the whole multitude of His disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen, saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”
“The long-awaited Messiah had come, the King of Israel, and not just of Israel but of all the earth. Jerusalem would be His capital city. From here he would rule the world in peace and righteousness. What a day this was!”
Should we rejoice like this on Palm Sunday?
The book of Revelation pictures the final fulfillment of Palm Sunday in the age to come like this:
I looked and behold, a great multitude which no man could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, "Salvation belongs to our God who sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb!" (Revelation 7:9, 10)
Is our worship in this age a rehearsal for the age to come?
“Had Jesus taken His throne on that first day of palms, none of us would ever be robed in white or waving palms of praise in the age to come. There had to be the cross, and that is what the disciples had not yet understood.”
Does a misunderstanding of Jesus' journey to Jerusalem result in a misunderstanding of the meaning of discipleship?
“Jesus’ journey to Jerusalem is our journey, and if He set His face to go there and die, we must set our face to die with Him.”
Is Jesus' Journey the Journey of the majority of modern-day Christians?
Jesus says, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me”. To follow Christ, must we be crucified?
Jesus paid a great cost, is there a great cost to be His disciple?
Jesus is resolved to go to Jerusalem, can you know the real Jesus without seeing the cross and seeing Him emerge from the empty tomb?
