The Path To Glory by Greg Holmes, D.MIN – Director of Missions serving 17 churches
JESUS IS NEARING THE END of his earthly journey, and the healing of the cosmos hangs in the balance of the searing tension of spiritual warfare that now surrounds him with ominous dark clouds. He is spending the last of his available time with his disciples, and even now the chief priest and elders of the Temple have met, “and they schemed to arrest Jesus secretly and kill him.” (Matt. 26:4) The scene with his followers is permeated with apocryphal meaning. Unrelenting forces of evil are pressing in around Jesus from all sides. Jesus, already knowing this, tells his disciples, “As you know, the Passover is two days away—and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.” (Matt. 26:2) And when that occurs, there will be a scene where the high priest demands, “Tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God.” (Matt. 28:63) Jesus will answer, “Yes, it is as you say. But I say to all of you: In the future you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.” (Matt. 28:64)
