He Set His Face on Jerusalem
from Solid Rock Church Sermons Hosted by Jason Williams
In this sermon, we looked at the Gospel of Luke's portrayal of Jesus' deliberate path to Jerusalem, culminating in the pivotal events of Holy Week. The narrative, starting in Luke 9:51, highlights Jesus' determination as He set His face toward Jerusalem and walked toward His impending death, burial, and resurrection. This journey ended in Luke 19:41 when Jesus stopped outside of town to overlook Jerusalem. As He looked down on the city, He was overcome with sorrow for its inhabitants because, amidst their turmoil and suffering, they failed to recognize the peace that Jesus offered. His tears were not only for Jerusalem but for all humanity - past, present, and future. Jesus grieved for those who suffer in anguish and who overlook His presence, and the peace that only He can offer. Jesus is still offering the same peace today for those who would believe and put their trust in Him.
