TOPIC: The Lonely Junction Of Destiny

John 2:19 NKJV‬‬
Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”

*Message*

When Jesus was born, there was immense joy in heaven and earth, so much so that the Angels couldn't keep the joyous party in heaven all to themselves, but had to stroll down to earth to celebrate with the inhabitants of earth also (Luke 2). His parents were happy, the shepherds were happy, the wise men rejoiced, as well as every spiritual person who knew who He was (Anna the Prophetess, Simeon, etc).

Growing up, He started walking the road of destiny as consistent with His purpose for coming to the earth. Every day, it was an exciting display of power and wisdom, with thousands of people always around Him giving Him honor and worship. However, there came the junction on the path of destiny where the pain of death and loneliness must be embraced. He suffered alone and was buried alone.

His body was laid into the tomb alone, and it was a loud shout of loneliness inside the cold tomb. While His body was lying cold in the grave, He had traveled alone to hell, a terrible place, to minister to its inhabitants and get as many people there saved. ‬

*Fulfilling your life purpose and destiny can be exciting, as it brings a sense of pure and divine fulfillment when done in God's perfect Will. However, always remember that like Jesus, there is a junction where it's just you alone, bearing your cross and death and loneliness. But this junction is the most beautiful part of the race, as it births something unique that will extend our relevance to all of eternity.*

*Prayers*
Ask the LORD for grace to stay true to His Will at the lonely junction of destiny.
