THE NESTOR BELL

On the Road to Calvary

As we have been walking through Lent following Jesus, we have found

profound lessons and inspiring examples of how Jesus put his faith into

practical actions of love, compassion, obedience and grace. We might say,

“Well, that was Jesus the son of God, that was easy for him.” But as we

consider and look at the mystery of his God/human nature, we can see hints of

how difficult this road was for him, especially as we approach Jerusalem and

the Holy Week.

“Not my will but yours.” The God/human nature of Jesus cannot be explained

as a dual personality, that is, two persons in one. It is a mystery indeed, but

what we can see is the human struggling with human issues, for example the

misunderstanding of his disciples, the merciless attitudes of the authorities,

and the indifference of the religious people to share his message of mercy and

love.

At the same time, we see the Godly nature of Jesus as he “walked the talk”

and through his lessons, examples, and practical actions, showed that he

certainly was the son of God!

As we approach Jerusalem, we will inevitably get to that point when we start

walking with Jesus on the road to Calvary. By then we will see Jesus in an

attitude of complete obedience and surrender to the will of God.

What have we learned from this season? What have we learned on this road to

Jerusalem? My prayer is that as we approach Calvary, we are ready to

understand the will of God and to surrender ourselves to His will.

See you Sunday in church,
