Luke 9:51 & 57-62 As the time approached for Jesus to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem. (On His journey, he met three men) The first man said, “I will follow you wherever you go.” And Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.” Jesus said to another man, “Follow me.” But the man replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.” Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.” Still another said, “I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say goodbye to my family.” Jesus said to him, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.” Resolute means admirably purposeful, determined and unwavering. Jesus was resolute in his journey to Jerusalem. He knew for the cause of our salvation, Jerusalem was where He must go! The three men Jesus met on the road to Jerusalem were not resolute. Let us not be like them. Let us not make excuses. Let us be resolute...let us be admirably purposeful, determined and unwavering as we set out for the New Jerusalem not made with hands.
