Now it came to pass, when the time had come for Him to be received up, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem
Luke 9:51
It is interesting to note that for which the time had come: "for Him to be received up." Yes, it must come by way of His crucifixion and resurrection. And these are the things that are proclaimed about His work for us to believe (cf. 1Cor 15:3–4). But, the Lord has a more ongoing focus here: His ascension and enthronement, the eternal ministry of His priestly intercession.
