Now it came to pass, when the time had come for Him to be received up, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem,—Luke 9:51

These verses always bring my heart to these verses from one of the Servant songs in Isaiah.  Christ is speaking...

Therefore I have set My face like a flint, And I know that I will not be ashamed. He is near who justifies Me; Who will contend with Me? Let us stand together. Who is My adversary? Let him come near Me. Surely the Lord GOD will help Me; Who is he who will condemn Me? —Isaiah 50

Beloved, we are more than conquerors through God who loves us.  There is nothing that can separate us from His love.  Like Jesus, we can set our faces like flint and follow in His steps, because He is our Rock and our Defense.... He will not allow us to be moved.  We can put off offenses against us and lean on our Beloved, depending on both His strength and protection because we know He cares for us and will guide us continually. The worst the world can throw at us is truly the best thing that can happen to us here on earth. (death)
