And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them, — Matthew 20:17

The fact that Jesus’ death on the cross was not an error is one thing that is evident from the four Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Jesus went to Jerusalem despite knowing what would happen there because he wanted to save us from the same thing. If only we would approach our challenges believing that God will enable us to overcome them and ultimately prevail.

Prayer

Thank you, Holy God and Loving Father, for your plan to use the death of your Son as a means of grace to atone for my sin. So that my life will reflect your victory, may I live today mindful of his sacrifice and assured of his triumph over sin and death. In Jesus’s precious name I pray. Amen.
