Jesus in Action
Luke 9:51–62
Step 3 of 5
Yekola oyo eteni oyo ezali komonisa mpo na Yesu.
Lokola tango oyo Yesu asengeli komemama na Likolo ekomaki pene, Yesu azwaki mokano ya kokende na Yelusalemi. Atindaki bantoma liboso na Ye ; boye wana bazalaki kokende, bakotaki na mboka moko ya bato ya Samari mpo na kobongisela Ye biloko. Kasi bato ya Samari baboyaki koyamba Ye, mpo ete azalaki kokende na Yelusalemi. Tango bayekoli, Jake mpe Yoane, bamonaki bongo, balobaki : — Nkolo, olingi ete tobelela moto ete ekitela bango kowuta na likolo mpo na kobebisa bango ? Yesu abalukaki mpo na kotala bango malamu mpe apamelaki bango : [— Boni, boyebi molimo oyo ezali kotindika bino na makanisi ya boye ? Mwana na Moto ayaki te mpo na koboma bato, kasi mpo na kobikisa bango.] Bongo Yesu elongo na bayekoli na Ye bakendeki na mboka mosusu. Wana bazalaki kotambola na nzela, mobali moko alobaki na Yesu : — Nakolanda Yo na esika nyonso oyo okokende. Yesu azongiselaki ye : — Bambwa ya zamba ezalaka na madusu na yango na se ya mabele mpo na kobombama, mpe bandeke ya likolo ezalaka na bazala na yango ; kasi Mwana na Moto azangi esika ya kolala mpo na kopema. Yesu alobaki na mobali mosusu : — Landa Ngai. Kasi mobali yango azongiselaki Ye : — Nkolo, pesa ngai nzela ya kokende nanu kokunda tata na ngai. Yesu alobaki na ye : — Tika bakufi bakunda bakufi na bango ; kasi yo, kende kosakola Bokonzi ya Nzambe. Mosusu lisusu alobaki na Ye : — Nkolo, nakolanda Yo ; kasi pesa ngai nzela ya kozonga nanu mpo na kokende kopesa libota na ngai mbote ya suka. Yesu azongiselaki ye : — Moto oyo asimbi kongo mpo na kobalola mabele ya bilanga, kasi azali kotala na sima, azali na tina moko te mpo na Bokonzi ya Nzambe.

Luke shows Jesus as resolute. He knows the direction of His mission and deliberately turns toward Jerusalem as the decisive stage approaches.
Watch: Why Did Jesus Set His Face Toward Jerusalem with Such Resolve?
Watch the companion video, then continue reading to examine the biblical testimony in its full context.
Resolve Without Retaliation.
When the Samaritan village rejects Him, Jesus does not authorize the destructive zeal of James and John. His determination is not vindictiveness.
Authority to Call.
Along the journey, Jesus speaks with extraordinary authority about following Him. He does not present Himself as one optional teacher among many competing priorities.
A Mission Larger Than Comfort.
Jesus has nowhere to lay His head, yet He continues. The path before Him is not organized around personal ease, popularity, or avoiding rejection.
The Savior Who Keeps Going.
This passage reveals both direction and purpose. Jesus moves toward the place where His suffering and saving work will reach their climax, and He calls followers to take that mission seriously rather than admire it from a safe distance.
Kanisa na likambo oyo.
