Going somewhere?

Luke 13:31-35

1. What did Jesus' prophetic vocation mean to Him?

Jesus said "Go tell that fox, 'I will drive out demons and heal people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my goal.' In any case, I must keep going today and tomorrow and the next day—for surely no prophet can die outside Jerusalem!"

This shows that Jesus was clear where He came from and where He was going. He came His eyes fixed on what the Father wants Him to do.

1 Peter 5:1-11

2. How does Peter describe the rewards?

God wants you to be; not greedy for money, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.

And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.
