Destination Day

Verse of the Month

"From that time forth began Jesus to show unto his disciples, how that He must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day." 

(Matthew 16:21 NKJV)

April 8^th– 14^th, 2019

Scripture Reading: 1 Corinthians 15:58

Destination Day

As Jesus led His disciples into Jerusalem no one asked "Are we there yet?"  From the response of the people there was no doubt they had arrived at their destination.

When Jesus entered the city on that “destination day”, those that greeted with praise and rejoicing, would soon be calling for His crucifixion. The elders, chief priests and scribes were eager to involve the Romans and get Jesus out of the way.

From our human standpoint things only got worse as the week progressed, yet Christ never faltered.  He kept on moving forward living a verse of scripture that would later be revealed to the Apostle Paul.  It was a message he gave to the church.

"...be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain." 

1 Corinthians 15:58 (ESV)

It is important for each of us to be reminded of what our Lord and Savior faced for us there in Jerusalem.  He knew the final destination was Heaven.  His labor of love by sacrificing Himself on the cross would result in saving of the lost so they would be reunited in Heaven with the Father.

With Jesus as our example we need to get into position to move forward in a powerful way abounding in the work of the Lord.  Let this be in our thoughts when suffering for the sake of souls, "On our final Destination Day we will be with Jesus forever in Heaven."  (jw/cw)
