“From that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things ” Matthew 16:21
By Rev Dan M nor - revdminor1945@gmail
com
Par t 1 - He Knew Who He was Par t 2 - He Knew Where He was going
In other words, Jesus lived with a sense of pur pose The verse above descr ibes a watershed moment in our Lord’s ministr y on ear th It happened at a place called Caesarea Philippi just after Peter made his famous confession of faith, “Thou ar t the Chr ist the Son of the living God” (Matthew 16:16)
From that moment on Jesus began living in the shadow of the cross Jesus did not have time for petty arguments such as who is the greatest in the kingdom of God (Luke 9:50) It was time to focus on His larger pur pose, that of laying down His life for our sins In Luke 9:51 we read, “As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jer usalem ”
In other words He knew where He was going Do we know where we are going? Do we live with a sense of pur pose? Consider three tr uths:
1 PURPOSE BRINGS MEANING
Jesus said, “For the Son of Man came not to be ser ved but to ser ve, and to give his life as a ransom for many” (Mar k 10:45) Nothing would keep Him from fulfilling His pur pose He was deter mined, single-minded and ready to lay down His life for us
At the end of the day, it is how we live out our pur pose that pleases God and gives our lives meaning Here is how Jimmy Car ter stated it: “I have one life and one chance to make it count for something My faith demands that I do whatever I can, wherever I am, whenever I can, for as long as I can with whatever I have to tr y to make a difference ”
2 MEANING BRINGS DIRECTION
Jesus sees potential in us that we do not always s e e i n o u r s e l ve s Fo r ex a m p l e, J e s u s s aw potential in a hot-headed person named Simon who became Peter the rock He saw potential in a terror ist named Saul who became Apostle Paul They found meaning and it gave direction to their lives Jesus can help us to see ourselves as He sees us persons of value, wor th and pur pose
3 DIRECTION BRINGS DESTINY
Several weeks ago I lost a fr iend in Father James O ’ L e a r y W h i l e s e r v i n g my l a s t a p p o i n t m e n t (Parchment United Methodist Church) he became a fr iend both to me and to our church He was an amazing person and pr iest Ever yone loved him He was a holy man and a hilar ious man
One of the things I admired about him was how he approached aging and death He did not retire until he was 84 because “I was having too much fun!” He ended his stor y with these powerful words: “I await death and union with God – “Br ing it on!”
As we seek to draw closer to God dur ing the Holy Season of Lent, let us be reminded of God’s pur pose for our lives - who we are – Whose we are – where we are going
Prayer: Dear Lord, our desire is to follow Your plan all of our days In Your strong name Amen

Sing praises to God, our strength Sing to the God of Jacob Sing! Beat the tambour ine
Play the sweet lyre and the har p Psalm 81:1-2
Jesus said, “I have come to set the world on fire, and I wish it were already bur ning! I have a terrible baptism of suffering ahead of me, and I am under a heavy burden until it is accomplished Luke 12:49-50
REFLECTION: The meaning of these two verses from the book of Luke is simple Chr ist has introduced a fire stor m to bur n down the powers of this wor ld It is going to cause the utmost confusion
His intention is to commingle heaven and ear th He is placing pur ity against poison, launching goodness to overcome evil The gospel of Chr ist is metaphor ically compared to fire because it violently changes the face of life as we know and exper ience it In our jour ney of faith we are like the disciples who falsely imagined that the kingdom of God would come to them with ease Chr ist declares that there must be a dreadful firestor m to kindle the wor ld first That is what Jesus does His refining power begins in us When we come to gr ips with our sinful nature, we tur n and submit to His author ity of love
This is what it means to be woke We are awakened to the light of God s tr uth and brought out of dar kness Other phrases that are more familiar are: bor n from above bor n again and bor n anew Chr ist encourages us to contemplate His words by inviting us to consider the wisdom and power of this Good News Ever yone I know who is a Chr ist follower has had a fire stor m hit their life It causes a person to look inward to hear the Good News of God That is why Jesus says there is a reason we should tremble A fire stor m has spur ned us to action as it bur ns in the hear ts of His children Once I am renewed and made alive in Him, I find eter nal peace, a peace that passes all understanding My par t is to rejoice in this fr uit of Chr ist’s labors It has come to me and you and now we see the invisible grace of God through the visible exper iences we share with others
PRAYER TIME: Lord Jesus, lift my eyes toward heaven today
Fill me with Your Spirit of truth and wisdom
Continue to open my eyes and ears to hear Your word so I can drown out the rest In Jesus’ Name, Amen
