Facebook, and YouTube (Calvary Inverness) as we continue our journey through the New Testament in the Gospel of Matthew (19:1-20:34).
The cross was looming. Each step felt heavier as Jesus approached Jerusalem. He knew what awaited Him—long before the foundation of the world was set in motion. He wasn’t afraid, but determined to finish what He had come to earth to accomplish.
His heart was heavy. The cross represented separation from the Father. There had never been a moment in all of eternity when they hadn’t been in constant communion. Yet, there was no other way. Jesus understood that even though the people He came for had rejected Him, He would still pave the way for their salvation.
Jesus understood, even with the heaviness in His heart, that He still had much to do before that moment—healings, miracles, preaching, teaching, and instructing His disciples. There was no time to waste. His time was running out.
The stakes were at an all-time high. The crowd, although still large, was beginning to dwindle. His enemies were becoming more anxious and, as a result, bolder and more aggressive because they feared His influence over those they regarded as His dedicated followers. Therefore, His enemies kept trying to trap Him in saying or doing something that would discredit Him.
Throughout everything, Jesus calmly and resolutely continued to serve both His people and His enemies. Peter remembered how, after Jesus’ resurrection, He responded to those who hated Him. “When He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously.”
Christ’s life, ministry, crucifixion, death, and resurrection have set an example for all His followers from that day until now, demonstrating that when suffering or persecution occurs, we should trust in Him, who protects, guides, and strengthens us through every trial and tribulation.
I’m excited to continue this journey with you through the twenty-seven books of the New Testament, trusting that none of us will remain the same as we grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Please pray for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the entire Calvary Chapel family.
In His Strong Love,
Pastor
