Read Luke 9:51-56. Piper concludes, "Jesus, who was the very
embodiment of his Father’s love for sinners, saw that the time had come and set
his face to fulfill his mission: to die in Jerusalem for our sake." (Page
6) What insights do the following
Scriptures provide to Jesus’ proclamation, “No one takes it from me, but I lay
it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority
to take it up again. This is the charge I have received from my Father” (John
10:18, ESV).
Matthew 26:53--
John 12:49; 14:31; and 15:10--
Philippians 2:7--
How does complementing the truth that no one, Judas, the Sanhedrin, or Pilate took Jesus' life, but that He laid it down willingly add to your worship?
Read Day Two (Monday), He Set His Face for Jerusalem in John Piper's
Devotional, Love to the Uttermost.
