Luke 9:51 “He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem.”

The word steadfast means resolutely or dutifully firm and unwavering. The characterizations of our Lord is that He set His face to fulfill the eternal resolve and purpose of His life. Every day that Jesus lived here on earth, He lived in anticipation of the shameful death by crucifixion. He was unwavering, even at 12 years old, to be about His Father’s business.

The steadfast love of Christ is marked by His commitment to go to the Cross. The Cross finished the work that the Father had given Him to do. His life was one of enduring discipline, sustained by the Father, for the benefit of the whole world for generations to come.

“For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives but to save them” Luke 9:56.
