What shall we do with Jesus?
“After he had said this….” (Luke 19:28). That is how it all began this final week before Jesus’ death. “After he had said this…” he marched into Jerusalem to suffer and die for the sins of the whole world. On his way to this moment, to the cross, he showed and taught his disciples many things. Jesus was on his way to the cross, but what would the people do with him? Would they believe? Would they follow? Would they reject?
The Gospel writer, Luke, takes us along on the journey to the cross. We’ll the same question. What shall we do with Jesus? What will you do when you hear of him? What will you do when you eat with him? What will you do with his teaching?
This Sunday, we walk with Jesus toward Jericho and see what a blind man does with Jesus. The blind man on the side of the road only heard that Jesus was passing by. He only heard, yet he cried out, “Jesus, Son of David have mercy on me.” What will you do when you hear of Jesus? We’ll be looking at Luke 18:35-43.
