When the days were approaching for His ascension, He was determined to go to Jerusalem; and He sent messengers on ahead of Him, and they went to enter a village of the Samaritans to make arrangements for Him. But they did not receive Him, because He was traveling toward Jerusalem.
When His disciples, James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them?"
But He turned and rebuked them, and said, "You do not know what kind of spirit you are of; for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them."
And, they went on to another village.
Luke 9:51-53
Wow!
Look what Jesus said, "...the Son of Man did not come to destroy lives, but to save them."
May we take this lesson to heart and remember when people interfere with our plans that we need to hold our temper and find another way around.
If it was good enough for Jesus, it is good enough for us.
