Everything from Luke 9:51 onwards is written under the shadow of the cross.
"When the days drew near for him to be taken up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem." - Luke 9:51 (ESV)
Other points by Don Carson:
1. There is glory to be pursued and judgment to be feared.
2. The things we pursue may blind us to our need for grace.
3. God has not left Himself without witness.
