It is approximately a month before Easter. In the same way we look forward to Christmas, we need to look forward to celebrating the ressurection of Jesus Christ on that first Easter sunrise. But we must never forget what Jesus did that allows us to celelbrate His ressurection. Each day there will be a new post to assist in the preparation for Easter.

Day 31 Luke 9:51 “When the days drew near for him to be taken up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem.”

Consider the fact that Jesus had twice foretold of his treatment and death in Jerusalem to His disciples. Yet after the transfiguration, the casting out demons and the settling of an argument between the disciples, Jesus set his face toward Jerusalem. He did this knowing that he would be rejected by the religious leaders and eventually killed. Jesus determined to accomplish His God given mission, resolved to follow through with the task, and became unwavering in His steps. In His obedience he died for the sins all mankind.
