Read Luke 13:31-33

At that time some Pharisees came to Jesus and said to him, "Leave this place and go somewhere else. Herod wants to kill you."

He replied, "Go tell that fox, 'I will keep on driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my goal.' In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day — for surely no prophet can die outside Jerusalem!"

Reflect

Herod the King wants to kill Jesus. The religious leaders want Jesus to hide. Jesus won't be bossed by either. He has his own timetable, and it's irrelevant what those in power think. Why?

Respond

What if both political and religious leaders are far less powerful and important than we tend to think? What then?
