The Journey or the Destination?
Sometimes the journey is to be enjoyed and the destination the least important. However, there are times when the destination is the primary focus and the journey becomes the least important.
Today is your journey of prime importance or is it the least important? Is your destination to be your focus as you walk along the road of your journey?
As followers of Christ our journey through this life has hills to climb and rivers to cross. What blessing it is to know that our ultimate destination is in the presence of our God!
How are you facing the facts of your present circumstances? Is it with anxiety and fear, orperhaps depression plagues you? Consider how Jesus handled His thoughts of the coming circumstances which would include pain, suffering, separation from His Father (for a time) and excruciating death.
How did Jesus face the fact that He was leaving the eleven men in the world? He did not plead, beg or ask to stay in the world”¦His journey was rapidly coming to an end. His destination was in view ~ heaven and the presence of His Father.
(NASB) John 17:11a “I am no longer in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I come to You.”
Jesus”™ eleven disciples were staying in the world which opposed God (and it still does today).
Jesus kept His focus on His destination”¦as He traveled the difficult and painful road of the coming hours. He was well aware before it all took place. When faced with death (whether of a loved one or our own) shouldn”™t we also keep our focus on the destination?
