Sermon:
Facing Jerusalem
Jesus decides now to go to Jerusalem. He proceeds with tremendous determination, because a moment of destiny is at hand. He calls his disciples to follow with a brutal urgency. Who is this One, moving so unwaveringly toward the fulfillment of his mission? How was it to be among his followers at this moment? What places in our lives are our Jerusalem?
