Commentary
Luke 13: 22-30
Jesus – a Man on a Mission
In the Gospel According to
Luke, the turning point in the life and ministry of Jesus takes place in
chapter 9, verse 51.
Before that, his ministry took
place in Galilee.
Then in 9:51, came “the days
for his being taken up” and “he resolutely determined to journey to Jerusalem.”
From then on, we find Jesus on
his way to Jerusalem to fulfill the mission the Father has sent him.
And today, in 13:22, we learn
that “Jesus passed through towns and villages, teaching as he went and making
his way to Jerusalem.
Jesus came to proclaim the Good
News of God’s salvation. That was his
mission. At all times, in all places, in
whatever circumstances, to whomever, he would carry out that mission.
Persecution, opposition, and even
the cross, which he knows awaits him, could not deter him from that mission.
