(Lesson 3401)(04-26-21) Luke 9:51-56
“ And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem, And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem. And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.”
Today’s quote relates that, at that time, Jesus began to make preparations for His upcoming death, burial and resurrection.
As His apostles asked if they should call down fire upon heads of those who woud kill Him, Jesus made the point that He had come, not to destroy life, but rather to eternally save it for those who will come to believe in Him.~
