Back in the 1960's a movie came out called "The Graduate," which became an American classic. It starred a then very young Dustin Hoffman as a college student trying to decide what to do with his life. There is a scene early in the movie where Dustin Hoffman is floating on a rubber raft in a swimming pool. His father comes out and asks: "What are you doing." He replies. "Drifting. Just drifting." I suspect this was the writer's way of letting us know what he is doing with his life. I fear far too many could give the same answer Just drifting

Jesus knew where he was going. Literally, of course, to Jerusalem, but figuratively to Calvary and his appointment with a destiny that was uniquely His. By walking toward something he was also walking away from something. He was turning his back to the false gods of popularity, power, and painless piety.
