Luke 9:51

Setting his face toward Jerusalem
Day of resolution to beat satan
Day of reconing, day that hinges his or my life
From Chapter 9 to 19 Jesus gets closer
Isaac and Abraham
Prefiguring the sacarifice of Jesus
Reactions to Jesus
#1 Samaritans - Wanted Jesus to be in second place to their tribe
They reject Jesus and the diciples ask if they get to nuke the Samaritans
The entourage of Jesus 100ish people send messengers ahead to see if they are able to stay in the villages that the group is passing thru
What is your tribe?
They didn't want jesus B/c he will not affirm their tribe, their religion, their system to belief
James and John - They want Fire to come back - Like the guy with the sign "Turn or Burn"
Jesus calls for change, but still is patient with the Samaritans, the disciples, and us
#2 Zealous guy "Jesus before Comfort"
Jesus says Are you gonna be ok with being homeless and broke with me?
He is like a bird without a nest, fox without a hole
Jesus is not trying to lie to get followers, he is honest upfront about how much this life is gonna suck
#3 Guy who wants to bury his father - Placing Security Before Jesus
Lack of compassion?? - A little mean
Is Jesus asking young people to disown their parents and break all ties, join his cult?
His parents are not likely dead - otherwise he would not be with Jesus - He is waiting for his parents to die
As soon as I reach a certain point in Life I will serve Jesus
Jesus knows this guy's heart and wants a sense of urgency
#4Guy who want to say goodbye to his household - Placing the Past before Jesus
Elijah and Elisha, burns his plow to say that his is in it
Jesus know this man's heart, who will not return if he goes back
"Oh I'll just talk to my non-Christian boyfriend before I commit to Jesus" NO!
Looking back regretfully - Double minded - conflicted - Romanticised the past
Still looking back to the sin of the past, Just like
You can't plow a straight row while looking back to the evil of the past
This is me I look back often
Those who look back want to go back - Bishop Reily
Jesus wants us to plow a good row so we can see a great harvest and have Joy
Example
Back at 19 he had that day
Never back slidden toward to sin
