Jesus' Death a Part of His Mission Luke 13:31-35

When the Pharisees warn Jesus that Herod is out to kill him, Jesus replies, "Tell that fox for me I am casting out demons today, tomorrow and the next day will be on my way." The ways of the world are not God's ways and God does not answer to any earthly ruler. Jesus is going about God's work on the way to Jerusalem and will not be stopped or sidetracked by the plans of any earthly ruler or kindom.
