Song # 1434.1 from Our Gospel In Song Collection by Col Johnston. In the Book of Luke in chapter 13, we read how the Pharisees warn Jesus that Herod wants to kill Him.
Some Pharisees came to Jesus and said to Him “Leave this place and go somewhere else. Herod wants to kill you” (Luke 13:31). Jesus replied “Go tell that fox ‘I will drive out demons and heal people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my goal’” (Luke 13:32). “In any case, I must keep going today and tomorrow and the next day, for surely no prophet can die outside Jerusalem” (Luke 13:33). “Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing” (Luke 13:34). “Look, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me again until you say ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord’” (Luke 13:35).
Thought for today: we must all face Jesus in time. Will He be your Saviour? Or your Judge?
Thought for tomorrow: Jesus knows the way to heaven, follow Him for everlasting life. Where will you spend your eternity?
