Face Set Like a Flint

Luke 9:51-53   
51 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, 52 and sent messengers before His face. And as they went, they entered a village of the Samaritans, to prepare for Him. 53 But they did not receive Him, because His face was set for the journey to Jerusalem.

Jesus had a plan to fulfill, so even the decision of a Samaritan town to reject Him was so He could keep moving to Jerusalem.  He did not stop because there was a different destination, not because He was rejected.  When God has a purpose, His sovereign will simply makes it happen no matter how we reason otherwise.  As we follow Him, we must keep our face set to run that race to the goal while trusting Him for every twist and turn on the course.
