Definition of RESOLUTE
:  marked by firm determination :  resolved 

Jesus, You were RESOLUTE!  You were marked by firm determination and were RESOLVED to go to Jerusalem.  This was WHY You came  - this was Your purpose.  You KNEW that the leaders were seeking to kill You, You KNEW that You would be arrested, beaten, mocked and crucified - but You were RESOLUTE.  You came to obey the will of God and to fulfill Your purpose on the earth.  Your love for me was Your motivation.  You had come to redeem a world to Yourself - and You were RESOLUTE to accomplish this purpose.  "And being found in appearance as  a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of DEATH, even DEATH on a cross."  (Phil. 2:8)  Jesus, when I think about the courage it took to RESOLUTELY face death - I am in awe of You.  I bow in honor and worship of You, my Jesus.   

(Have you considered the COURAGE it took for Jesus to RESOLUTELY face death?  Worship Jesus who was RESOLUTE to obey His purpose!)#40dayswithjesus
