Life of Jesus: Journey to Jerusalem - Episode 1: Setting His Face Toward Jerusalem

DESCRIPTION This introduction presents the opening of a series that follows Jesus as he leaves Galilee and sets his face toward Jerusalem. For three years Jesus has taught, healed, and performed miracles across the region, but now the narrative shifts from wandering ministry to a focused journey with a clear destination. The road itself becomes a measure of cost, choice, and consequence. As the journey begins, tensions rise. The disciples notice a change in Jesus: his determination is deliberate, and his teaching grows sharper. Their expectations of a conquering messiah persist, yet the path Jesus chooses brings him into deeper conflict with religious leaders, into rejection by towns, and ultimately toward suffering. The series will track how these encounters reveal who Jesus is and what his mission means for those who follow him. One striking episode shows Jesus taking the direct route through Samaria, a region many Jews avoided. When a Samaritan village refuses them because Jesus is bound for Jerusalem, James and John urge a violent response. Jesus rebukes them and refuses retaliation, teaching that he came to save rather than to destroy. This moment introduces a recurring theme: power used for compassion rather than vengeance. The journey culminates at Jerusalem — the city of the temple where joy and judgment will collide. The series will not only portray the events that lead to the cross but also the purpose behind them: suffering that leads to resurrection and the hope it brings. This episode frames what is at stake for Jesus, his followers, and the world they enter into together.
